Hmm that's what I thought, too bad :-( > Correct; and, can't you use CDR or CDRWs to transfer/store your files? Well yes, but I have a lot of data at home on my B&W which I'm gonna take to work on CDRW and Jaz disks and want them permanently burnt on a DVD so that I can take it with me everywhere I go. > Could you (temporarily) replace the CD-RW with the SuperDrive?

Nope, the SuperDrive is in the QuickSilver G4 at work and has been locked to the desk by a steel cable and big lock to prevent stealing, but that also means I can't open it anymore. We had a break-in a few months a go and despite the alarm they took several G4s, they just cut all the cables... Anyway I was thinking of buying an ATA controller card for a while for my two HDs, maybe I can hook the CD/DVD-ROM drive to it aswell. Only where do I put it?? Maybe with a long IDE cable through an open PCI slot (which isn't there anymore if I install the ATA card) and put it on top of the B&W. Or maybe buying a FireWire case to put the CD/DVD-ROM drive in hoping that the FW ports do work on my B&W (haven't owned a FW device yet. > (not sure why I'm sending this e-mail other than I'm procrastinating ;) Sorry, I don't understand procrastinating, but thanks for your reply :-) -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
