Hoping that someone on the list can advise whether this can be replaced with a Sony CD-R/RW unit (M# CRX17OE)that was OE in my G4 before I installed DVD-R/RW in same. Any help would be appreciated-I just do not want to mess around blindly.>>
I quick google search of "CRX170E" gives a link to a g-list post that identifies the Sony as an ATA device. If this true it won't work in a 6100 you will need a SCSI device for a replacement. To verify this, count the number of pins on the connector where the Sony CD-R/RW connects to the 6100 ribbon cable. This will tell you what type of device you have. --glen (digest mode) -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
