Greetings! A couple of other questions: I have two DVD drives mounted in my G4 MDD. One of them, a Pioneer DVD-RW burner, is kaput.
I would like to replace it with a new combo DVD-RW burner. Some such drives listed on eBay are described as pulls from either G5s or Mac Pros, or as new drives intended for those machines. Are there any compatibility issues with such drives that would preclude their use in my G4? Also, I have 3 146 GB U160 SCSI drives I would like to set up as a RAID, internally. I have the SCSI PCI card I need. What I'd like to know is, would it be possible to mount two of those drives in one of the slots for the optical drives? I don't need a DVD-RW burner and and DVD-ROM. One of the slots in the HDD cage under the optical cage is free, so it seems to me that the issues are (a) getting the drives physically mounted, and (b) getting the cabling to work. Any thoughts? Would the SCSI drives in the optical cage get adequate cooling? Thanks again for your insight and suggestions!
