I know some of these things have already been said, but here's a summary: 1. It is definitely not possible to put a CDRW drive in an iMac, as I have not seen any internal drives w…

You most certainly can put an internal CDRW in the B&W G3 or G4. EZ Quest sells an internal ATAPI CDRW for the G3 or G4 called the BOA, I've done this to my B&W and it work…

You CAN put a cdrw into an iMac. It isn't a standard drive though. I don't remember the name of the company but the specs were 4/2/20 and it replaced the cd drive that comes in th…

Here's the link to get the PowerCDR internal cdr for an iMac. ( I was wrong about the rewritable part sorry) http://www.techworks.com/products/powercdr.html $299 [This message…

afe: reread carefully what I wrote. I said "It is impossible to have 2 CD-ROM/DVD/CDRW drives in a Blue G3/G4, as these devices require a half-height 5.25 inch drive bay, of which …

Tooki, I wrote this in reference to rlubbat's question about the internal CDRW in his G3. I should've stated such. AFE

There was a guy over on dealmac.com that put an internal CDRW drive in his G4; seems to me he kept the DVD drive too. He just took out the zip. His major problem was TEMPERATURE,…

I have a G4 and would like to buy the 21" flat panel monitor Apple makes. But I can find anywhere to buy it. Does any one know where I can buy it?

hi, only on the apple store, and only with a g4/agp. they're not selling it anywhere else, and supplies are limited. hope that helps, ster p.s. it's 22", btw. -s

You're not gonna be able to get it. Apple only sells it in a bundle with the top o the line G4... and since you already have a G4 it looks like you r SOL (for now). Sorry Guru

Has anyone succesfully burned CD's on the DVD-RAM drive that came with the G's? Toast 4 Deluxe does not work for me. It won't recognize a compatible drive. In addition, after upgra…

Toast 4.0 is not compatible with MacOS 9. Toast 4.0 update is supposed to resolve MacOS issues. The 4.01 update is not yet available, ------------------ Andy Pastuszak apastusza…

All currently available DVD-RAM drives CANNOT write to CD/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW. They are only good as a 5.4 GB floppy disk (and to read DVDs and CD's) that the Finder kno…

Let me see if I understand. The current DVD-RAM drive in my G4 will never be able to burn CD's (be it CD-R, CD-RW, music CD, etc.)? The full functionallity of the drive is to read …

That's essentially correct! That part about Toast 4 not working with OS 9 is debatable though. Mine works just fine. I think it has a problem mounting images but I don't use th…

I have heard reports that the Toast CD Reader will lock up while booting up. Does your CD Reader load just fine?

The Toast CD reader extension does not load on my computer (G4/OS9) either. It has a red X on it.

Toast CD Reader extension from version 3.5.7 also will not load on my G4-450mhz. I have an APS external CD-ROM Burner (Yamaha 400) and at first I could not startup the G4 with the …

Are you using OS 9?

Hi... this is an old topic, but I was wondering some of the same things as I will be buying a G4 in the next two months (unfortuntely, I don't think I can wait until July, in case …

The Que! DVD-RAM drive apparently can write CD-R as well as DVD-RAM. The built-in DVD-RAM on G4s can NOT write CD-R disks. It can read just about any format though. The Finder us…

MacAddict reviewed the Que! CD-R drive as an absolute piece of crap. The problem was the driver/other software that kept crashing the test machine. Any comments? Same for DVD-RA…

Try re-reading my post. The CD-R is a different piece of hardware. I eval'd a Que! CD-R and it does suck, but you're comparing apples and oranges. Scott

That's what I was hoping! Thanks!

I've heard that the DVD-RAM drives are slow and that using Retrospect instead of the finder (drag-and-dropping) is twice as fast. I haven't tried it - I don't have a DVD-RAM drive…
