[Ti] superdrive

[Scott Strehlow]

Greetings,

When my combo drive gave up, I shoe-horned a superdrive into my 15"  
TiBook.  I ordered a cable from www.macsupportstore.com.  Their SKU for  
this cable is 922-4672 and the description is "Cable, CD-RW or CD-RW /  
DVD-ROM (Combo), Flex".  You need a different cable as the connector on  
the drive is on the opposite end of the back side.  The physical  
mounting hardware is also different.  There is a site I checked that  
sells a tray and cable package for it but as I recall it cost about  
half the price I paid for my drive ($100).  I can't remember which  
vendor that was, possible OWC.  I opted to forgo the tray and engineer  
my own support.  Initially I was going to use the carcass from the old  
drive to make a tray.  That wasn't working too well so I made rubber  
spacers to support the drive.  It is ugly but it works well.
