I'm looking to remove the CD drive from my 7500 and go external with it, I'm running a ATA100/PCI card with 2 ATA100 80Gig drives, I remember some time ago you could buy SCSI cases that would hold 2 hard drives and a CD, do they still make these? Or does anyone know where I could purchase one? I still want to run my SCSI drives, but I want to go to a internal ATA CD burner, any suggestions? I need a external CD drive incase I have to boot from a CD, I've tried to start from a CD with a non-Apple drive with no success, does anyone know if a ATA drive will boot? Thank you!!!!! ;~)'

Looks like this might work.

Here's someone else's solution.

Why remove the CD-ROM?
How big are these SCSI Drives? Might be better off just selling them.

I have a 3 gig and a 9 gig, and 2 CD roms, I want to go to a internal CD burner that is IDE, I've already played with removing all the SCSI internal devices I.E. the CD, and both drives after I transferred the files over to the first IDE drive, now both internal drives are IDE, right now I'm only running the SCSI externally, and have not had any problems YET?? So I figured I would run my SCSI drives cause I have a problem getting rid of my Mac stuff! I just keep collecting! Thank you all for the info, I'll be using a 4 drive bay and that floats my boat, I'll stick to the 9 gig and run my extra 3 (collecting dust) CD roms, so much fun, so little time!!!
Wow I remember that story on the ATX case, now that does have my interest, thanks for the help!!!
