[Ti] Dual Layer cable for Powerbook G4 400

[Arnie Ramirez]

You are absolutely right about those machines coming only with DVD- 
ROM drives.  But by now many people have upgraded from the original  
DVD-ROM drive and now have at least a Combo drive.  If you are  
upgrading from a Combo (or slowSuperDrive) then you don't need the  
whole cable/bracket kit since the new drive will be of the same form- 
factor as what you are replacing... and you'll save some dough.

The 400/500 never came with a Combo drive.  They're 6x DVD-ROM.  I  
recently upgraded my old G4/400 after re-installing Tiger in it, to a  
Mercury dual layer burner from OWC.  They sent a new cable with the kit.
