I was at OfficeMax and Best Buy today. Both had cheap 52x42x52 CDRW drives
for $9.99 after mail-in rebates. I'm configuring a 266 G3 DT for my son and
have noticed some problems with the CD-ROM (sometimes won't mount disks,
sometimes disks are unrecognizable, sometimes doesn't even show on the bus).
I'm wondering if I can replace it with one of these drives. What does it
take for a drive to be bootable in a G3? Also, what does it take to be
Mac-compatible?
The OfficeMax drive was a Cendyne Lightning and the Best Buy drive was a
MediaStor CW 524. Anybody know if these would work for me?
