I've got a plan drawn up at this stage for a Rack/MT/Desktop case for a G4 sporting a 4 tray hot-swappable SCSI or Firewire RAID setup. Right now, I'm tring to see if there is any…

You may have a bit of demand for this as Pinnacle has announced a High Definition Non-Linear Editor for Macintosh only (www.pinnaclesys.com.) However, we are talking about extreme…

I have a 350 Mhz G3/B&W with an internal DVD drive. I would much rather have an internal CD-RW drive. I would be willing to remove the DVD if necessary, but would rather have …

i was in the same boat as you a few months ago. my b/w g3 will not accomodate 2 cd drives without taking a hacksaw to the case, which i am loath to do (investigating other tower c…

I'm assuming that you're going to be installing Toast. Make sure you install the software first, then swap out the drives. TOAST CD READER has to be installed before you can read…

I've found Intech's CD/DVD Speed Tools to be mush more robust than Toast CD Reader... and it doesn't get in the way of toast either.

Has anyone tried one of the combo DVD-CD-RW's in their first gen B&W G3/350/DVD yet? Ricoh MP9060A Toshiba SD-R1002 4X/4X/24X CDRW and DVD ROM http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/dr…

You don't need to have the Toast Cd Reader installed or whatever, somewhere in the forums (sorry I can't be more specific - I'll have a look for this post) there is a post about ha…

The only problem with using the zip bay on the B/W G3, is that the metal casing is only big enough for a zip drive or a normal size hard disk. definitely not enough for a CD-RW uni…

I've used a Sony CRX-100E in place of the stock DVD-ROM in my B&W G3 and it worked wonderfully. But like many others, I wish there were another 5.25" drive bay available...

Is there any reason I can't just cut out the Zip housing, put in one big enough for my RW, and use it like that? Or is there something I'm overlooking? I'm pretty new to cutting up…

You would also have to cut out 2 1"square blocks of the actual case, and these two blocks are where the cd/zip bay is fixed. it is possible, just tricky. b.

however, i'm all intrigued now, so i'll give it a whirl as soon is i finish moving house from germany to england. i'll keep y'all posted. b.

It might be more practical to see if any of these combined DVD-Rom, CD-RW drives are available with Mac drivers yet, and just replace the DVD drive.

it might be more practical for you, but as i already have separate dvd + cdrw drives, and a low budget, this is much simpler. b.

Well,I've decided that as soon as my warranty has expired (not long now), I'll get out the old hacksaw, scrape off the inch of rust, and see if I can get that 8424 in where the zip…

You won't need a power supply. Once you get the CDRW out of its case, there's a standard power connector on the back. There should also be a power cord at that bay for the internal…

well, i did it. took about 15 minutes - the hardest part was sawing off the lip on the lower edge. been running stable for a few days now - dvd's play fine + cd's burn. just ne…

show us photos!!!

ooooh....ahhhhh... snazzy, eh?

been searching far and wide for a way to open my ibook to replace the speaker which just blew... any docs available on the net?

http://caslis.com/ibook/ibdrive.html Lots of screws, but the speaker is available early on in the process... Good luck! drewman

Getting to the speaker isn't too bad, and as long as you are really carefull with the screws, as the metal is quite soft and they get cross threaded quite easily. If the speaker ju…

Has anyone here successfully installed a second internal IDE HD on a Rev. 1 Yosemite G3 (HD brackets side by side, not stacking). The Apple TIL says its not possible, but xlr8your…

I've got a 27 gig IDE HD slaved in the zip bay (slave to the DVD rom drive) and a 6gig (salvaged from my old G3 Beige) slaved to the main 6gig IDE in my BW, which is also Rev 1. I'…
