Just purchased that very drive from Office Max today. Got a total of $90 off using the instant rebate and the mail in rebate. Have yet to install it. Here's the MAC: G4-400-AGP graphics (circa 2000) ATI Rage 128 16 MB VRAM Matshita DVD ROM drive (to be replaced by the CenDyne/Pioneer A05, I would assume) 1 gig RAM (2-128's, 1-256, 1-512) 1 Quantum Fireball 20 GB system HD 2 IBM 37.5 GB HD's for video/audio 1 IBM 75 GB HD for video/audio Iomega 100 MB Zip Drive (never used) OS 9.1 (have X.1 update but not installed yet, just ordered the Jaguar update for X.1) (Read somewhere not to install a 9.2.1 update but can't remember any particulars) Final Cut Pro 2 Quick Time 5 I have printed out the Vince Hubbell article from Ken Stone's WWW site "Installing a SuperDrive in a G4." I'd like to: * archive video & audio from 10 year old 3/4" UMatic tapes * archive weekly episodes of a weekly 30 minute interview show we tape/edit/broadcast on 2 local cable channels * do the usual family Christmas, birthday, wedding, video, photo, etc. stuff all on DVD. So, where does one go from here? What else is needed? Thanks for your assistance. SHALOM
