[iBook] Clamshell iBook: upgrade of CD-ROM to DVD or combo

[Juan M]

Thank you to all for answering my question. I am glad I joined the  
iBook list.


We have better (and the latest) intel Macs for other purposes but I  
just wanted to know if I can upgrade my Clamshell iBook to having a  
DVD player.




Thanks


Juan
