We have www.applemacsparts.com in the UK, there must be similar suppliers in your country. Unless you're technical minded you will not be able to fit your self. The original post was re an iMac 350 MHz, fitting is different to the 333MHz tray loader. On the 360 MHz model the plastic base comes off, then the metal EMI shield, then unscrew the logic board. The modem is screwed to the bottom of the logic board. Easier is to fit a Mac compatible USB external modem. It simply plugs into a spare USB port. I used to fit ones made by Swann, but these have dried up now, and Swann now only make PC compatible USB modems. Zoom is another supplier, but here I had trouble trouble tracking one down, it took lots of phone calls before finding one. Steve Bell -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
