I want to install a slot loading Superdrive in my iMac rev A 17 inch, 1.6mhz. Anyone ever do this before? Where can I find out which Apple branded superdrives will be a direct plug and play replacement? I know it is only three screws, snap in/snap out. But how do I know which model number Superdrive(s) will work?
Thank you.
 
Thank you Master Nile. I am looking for the exact model numbers (for example, in UJ-845-c, U 825 etc..) of the drives that are known to work, or have been swapped successfully. Perhaps there is a list someone has compiled somewhere? (I am considering the OWC offer however.) There are many sources for used Superdrives.
 
Swapped a Combo out of a G5 iMac and installed a 2007 dual layer SuperDrive from one of the laptops without a hitch. The hardest part was removing the mounting "cage" from the G5's drive and putting it on the new drive.
