Heh. :-} Would you explain how yoou went about installing your Internal IDE Sony CDRW? I have one also and I want to install it in my Beige G3 Desktop. The isssue that concerns me is that face of the Sony CDRW looks like it would have problems fitting into my G3's case. It has a black pastic front to it that looks iffy. Also I was wondering if I could use my old external SCSI CD-ROM case for the IDE Sony CDRW. Is this possible? -- The Librarian looked out at the jolting scenery. He was sulking. This had a lot to do with the new bright collar around his neck with the word "PONGO" on it.
