Would these same precautions pertain to replacing a DVD drive with a CD-RW ROM? Tom

In order to prevent some first-time startup problems after you make the RAM/DVD/HD drive switch, don't forget to press the cuda button (located in line with the IDE cable connector on the horizontal plane and below and to the left of the PRAM battery on the vertical plane on the logic board) once, then do a PRAM reset during the first boot (hold down the Option, Command, P and R keys for at least three chime cycles). This forces your logic board to its factory default settings and makes your OS X system identify your hardware and load appropriate extensions/drivers. This should guarantee a seamless and trouble-free transition to the "new" RAM, DVD and hard drives in your iMac 400. But you may well have to reset some user-defined preferences the cuda and PRAM resets will move to factory default status. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
