[MacDV] Re: Two 5.25" drives in a G4

[Thubten Kunga]

Yes it's a mess. I used a pair of tin snips to cut the corners off the 
3.5" metal corners. You do have to remove the faceplate. You even have 
to bend metal with your bare hands and a pair of pliers. Yes, it messes 
up the looks of the computer. But I don't care. It's an old computer 
that lives under the desk. I never look at it anyway. Old computers are 
for hacking, not for looking at.

You put a DVR-105 inside a G4 set to master and it's going to work with 
iDVD 3. I have a DVD-RAM drive under my DVR-105 in my old G3 soon to be 
PowerLogix G4. No problem.
