I have a blue n white g3 (with g4 upgrade card). A while ago i pulled out the cd-rom drive and installed an apple compatible dvd-rom drive, but that recently has stopped working and i need to replace it. I'm looking for something cheap dvd-rom wise and needed to know if any atapi drive will work, or are some drives not compatible with macs....... i just want to get somethingt cheap n used off ebay and most shiz there doesn't reeally have specs on mac compatibility. thanks
