Definitely NOT a drop-in replacement.  You will need some type of a sled.
And I wouldn't say it is fully supported by Panther. Even though these
drives are the same drives Apple uses in their notebooks (powermacs), these
OEM drives do not have APPLE firmware installed.  So you will have to use
something like PatchBurnII
(http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/patchburn2_feedback.html#storytop)  to
get fully compatibility.

These are the same drives that places like OWC and MCE use for their "Cube
Superdrive Upgrades"

Here is the same drive, in an external firewire/USB2 case, plus much
cheaper:

People have successfully purchased this, made a sled, and installed it
without problems.  Checkout www.cubeowner.com for more info.  Be sure to
search both the forums and FAQ before posting questions - you'll find a lot
of info.
