[G4] Dual Layer DVD Unit

And it is extremely easy to do. Most important thing to remember to  
do is REMOVE the faceplate of the drawer before you install it. You  
do this by plugging in the power cable to the drive, after you've  
removed the old drive, turning on your Mac and pressing the eject  
button so the drawer slides out. Then gently but firmly slide the  
faceplate off the front of the drawer. That is the most important and  
difficult part of the installation. It will pop off. Do not install  
the drive with the face plate on it. You have got to get that puppy  
off or the drawer will JAM and perhaps even BREAK the drawer  
mechanism if you don't get that faceplate off. Once the drawer is  
open you can shut down the Mac again.
