Only if you want to use the Apple-provided utility. If you want to use Toast, then (almost) all drives are supported without further action on your part. > Is ther version of Patchburn for OS 9.2.2? No, just for 10.1/10.2 (obsolete, and no longer available for download), 10.3 (still available but not updated) and 10.4 (still available and possibly updated). Apple added just about every drive there is (or was) for 10.5. > I like to get a list of Known DVD/DVR that work with this systems this > would help as I cn get drive at OEM price and just need a model# to > order them from my shop. > > BTW if did give better details on the system here they are > DVR-109, DVR-110, DVR-111, for sure, and current model Lite-Ons, for sure.

QS processors may be installed in DAs (with a special cable), but DA processors may not be installed in QSes. Otherwise, one is "graphite" whereas the other is "silver". Oh, the optical drive mount and the Zip drive mount are different (the DA uses the old B&W/first Graphite method, the QS uses a method unique to it). > I like to replace both or one with larger drives so i like Western > Digital drives but not sure if current IDE will run on this bus on the > motherboard . Both the DA and QS are amenable to the LBA48 property update method, using TERMINAL, and these updates (one for the HD bus, another one for the optical bus) are the same for both. As long as you don't do a reset-nvram your DA or WS will have large drive support. I have had such support on my lone remaining DA for more than six months and it never goes away as I have not done a reset-nvram in all that time. 750 GB drives are available in PATA, and you can install three such drives in either a DA or a QS. The current drives a very power-saving ... about 12 watts. Older ATA drives took much more power. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
