[G4] Fitting a Superdrive??

[John Pugh]

As I mentioned earlier I bought a CenDyne drive (A05) and installed it
without problems into my GB Ethernet G4 to replace the RAM drive. It is 4X
DVD burning speed and this seems to work just fine with the 4X ROMs from
ESBuy ($1.77 each).

I burned one project this evening and played it on my commercial DVD player
on my TV with no problems at all.

Go buy one!

I have heard that the none Apple drives work fine for most things, but
that iDVD will not work with anything but
an Apple superdrive.

This has been keeping me from buying one. What results have the people
on this list had?
