ONE MORE TIME, Here's the HOW to make a DVR-105 work with a Cube and iDVD 3: 1. Pull the core. 2. Build a small 3 sided square of 2x4s just smaller than the core so it can sit on top of it with the cable side open. 3. Disconnect the optical power and IDE connectors from the internal optical drive. 4. You will see they are long enough to reach outside the Core and plug into the raw 105. 5. Reattach everything else and power up. 6. Forget about how it looks. 7. Leave it on the floor where it belongs in the first place. IMHO Do that and you're iLife iDVD 3 compliant. k On Friday, January 31, 2003, at 05:04 PM, Thubten Kunga wrote: > I have already posted this hack several times on this list.
