Jeff Hubatka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> opined: >iMacs take standard laptop drives, not the full-size ones you see >advertised for $19. While the trayload iMacs do indeed use slim laptop-style optical drives, my daughter's 400MHz iMac SL doesn't use a standard slim formfactor drive. The shape is different and the interface connector is on the wrong (opposite) side. Perhaps later SL iMacs used 'standard' slim drives? I've got some slotload combo drives and they won't fit without a bit of hackage. The way I see it, one needs fabricate (or source?) a mounting bracket adapter, as well as a cable adapter (or a different cable.)
Has anyone installed a 'standard' slim drive in a SL iMac? Anyone been here, done this? dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
