> I'm looking for a new DVD burner for my Mac G4. Months ago, most manufacturers of IDE-attached DVD burners stopped production.
I use Lite-On IDE burners in a set-top box hard disk recorder. Due to poor cooling, these last about two years, with, first, the burner function failing, and, second, the reader function failing. My Macs, the few that haven't been replaced by Hacks, started out with Pioneer burners. One or more of these were replaced with Sony Optiarc drives before those became unavailable. One of my Hacks (a Shuttle) had an IDE burner as I decided to use IDE for internal drives, thereby retaining the two SATA ports for eSATA (using a cable and bracket kit). That burner was pulled and went into my set top box. You'll have to search about for someone with "new old stock" IDE burners. The "usual suspects" have been sold out for months. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
