It might be a good idea to replace it with the same drive. It may not 
be very reliable, but the driver may be written for it. Or at least the 
same speed. I think I saw somewhere on the net that said it was a 
Pioneer drive. You might search around and confirm that.

Or you could check out <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ >. It is an upgrade 
site and there is bound to be a few people who have related their 
experiences with other drives.
