Thanks for the input, I will look into that. I had two yoyo chargers before and one of them did get a little messed up on the inside, but I thought that was an add event. I was actually going to put the Pismo into FireWire mode and install on it as a firewire hard drive through my 1st Gen Intel iMac Jeremiah Stevens

Other than that, you should be able to get one off eBay pretty quick (the original yo-yos are even worse - the cable often breaks inside the adapter, and it a bit difficult to repair it and still maintain it pretty! :P) As for the DVD drive, you might be able to use another Mac's drive via FireWire (like the MacBook Air), but I'm not 100% certain of that...
