I'm looking to change the DVD drive in my Pismo to one that can burn CDs. I don't want to lose the DVD reading abilities however.
I checked around, and such drives exist, but they are VERY expensive. However, I've heard that the drives themselves are a standard laptop drive sitting in the shell. In checking for generic laptop drives that support DVD reading and CD writing, they seem to be much more affordable (tons on ebay pulled from Dells and the likes). Has anyone done this? Bought a drive and swapped the internals into the shell for the Pismo? Does it work? Do you lose the ability to play DVDs when you do that? Any other options out there to get CD writing without spending a fortune and without needing to carry an external drive? -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
