[G4] G4 Sawtooth Up grade from stock CD Drive To Combo

[lavode at comcast.net]

As long as the Sawtooth has its original Video Card (ATI Rage 128 16mb AGP), it should work fine with no additional hardware.  I picked up a Yikes 400 with a CD-ROM and stock PCI ATI Rage 128 card, swapped out the drive for a DVD-ROM drive, and I can watch movies in OS X or 9 with no problems.

YMMV,
