Replacing the Super Drive in a iMac G4

[Jonathan Newman]

Hey there folks! I work at a Fry's Electronics as a service Technician, 
and unfortunately I work mostly on PCs. On the occasion I get a Mac 
which is always fun because Macs are all I use at home! I've come to be 
known as the "Mac Guy" at work, and everyone from the people working on 
the floor to other techs come and ask me questions about macs!

Long story shot, I've got an iMac G4 in right now, and it's got an 
Optical drive that won't recognize CDs. It'll play and read DVDs just 
fine. The lady has a Warranty, from us, with it so I'm going to replace 
the drive no cost to her. It's a Pioneer 104 drive, and I'm going to 
pull either a 107 or a 108 off the shelf to throw into it. Is there any 
unusual or special things I need to do to get it to function properly? 
or can I simply swap out the drives and expect them to work? I know 
that the macs only really like drives from pioneer. But in all 
actuality I've never done this particular procedure. So any advice 
would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you guys/gals so much!
