As long as you are running OS 8.6 or later on the beige G3, almost *any* ATA CD-ROM will work. Apple's later CD/DVD driver is just about universal. I have also found that just about any drive will be bootable as well. The only one that I have tried that wasn't bootable was a AGI 56x CD-ROM. The others that I have used successfully (in chronological order) * Apple ROM 24x (OEM) * Kenwood 52x True-X (Sweet drive, quiet & fast! NLA) * Creative 48x (not good with OS 10.x, dunno why) * Sony 24x10x40 CD-RW (also a nice drive) * Kenwood 52x True-X (Bought another off of eBay) HTH Alex __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
