[X-HW] Combo DVD/CD-RW Drive for b/w g3?

[John Wilson]

Apple ships two different Combo drives with their MDD G4's, one of 
which is the Philips CDD5101, which is what is in mine. Maybe it would 
work. The website http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ usually has the results 
of various attempts to use different drives in many Mac's and yours if 
probably listed there. Good luck. John
