DVD/CD-RW Combo for G4?
« on: October 06, 2003, 11:25:14 AM »
I'm thinking of replacing the CD-RW drive in my G4 with a DVD/CD-RW combo drive.

Now...I have no idea what to buy. smile.gif

I have found some rather good looking offers at eBay with original G4 combo drives (even some new/unused ones), but alternatively I could also buy a new third-party drive.

What should I do?

If I was to go for a third-party drive which brand/model is recommendable?


Thanks! smile.gif

Oops. I see you're asking about a Combo Drive not SuperDrive.

My recommendations still stand though. smile.gif
