In the continuing problems I'm having of late after my power surge with my Beige G3 where the Apple 48x IDE CD rom no longer mounts, I was surprised and happy to discover that this PC 48x IDE CD rom made by Lite-on corporation not only mounts CD's but will actually boot on the key of "C".
I was depressed when I noticed the prices of the Apple 48x IDE CD rom. I recently acquired this lite-on ide cd rom at a flea market for $5 which was pulled from a dell, to make room for a CDRW. I currently had it in a Compaq I also acquired cheaply. It's annoying how so many stores try to gauge Mac users. I find stores like MacResq very high. I've even seen prices at Macresq higher than I can purchase parts new at my local Mac store. There are others. I have found Other World Computing a very respectible store whose prices are very reasonable. I originally purchased this Apple 48 cd rom from them for $26 which I'm sure they could have gotten more for. But it would nice to get a list of CD roms as well as CD RW that will boot on the key of "C", independent of any OS. Some will only boot from the startup menu and/or shift/option/comman/delete which can be difficult if you have more than one OS on your hard drives. ===== Beige G3 DT/466mhz, OS 9.2.2 & 10.2 __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
