Dude, your best bet is to just get a 3rd party DVD unit and drop it into the tray. I went through 2 DVD units from Apple in my Pismo 500, and late last year I bought a DVD-ROM/CD-RW unit off ebay to replace the last one that went funky. I had to update some burner software (found the hack at xlr8yourmac.com) but it works much better now. Check some of these out: http://search-desc.ebay.com/gcc-4240n_W0QQhtZ1QQsatitleZgccQ2d4240nQQsosortp ropertyZ1QQsotextsearchedZ2 The one I've got is the LG version, but they've got some HP ones up there for dirt cheap. Worth checking out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Joe Crow http://www.joecrow.net -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
