Hi there,

New to group.

I've recently acquired a Flower Power G3 iMac, but it's got a CD
thingy rather than a DVD thingy. I'm going to do various things to
upgrade it. The fact that it is fanless & has a CRT makes it ideal for
light media duties in, say, a bedroom. I really do prefer to watch
video on a CRT. Historically, most video was shot for CRT output.

Does anyone have recent experience of swapping the cd thingy for a
modern slot loading DVD drive? Can it be done? And will OS9 recognise
a modern device as a DVD-ROM? I want to upgrade to Tiger at some point
- doesn't it generally come on a DVD?

Or can I go the USB route for a DVD drive? I've got other devices that
don't have an optical drive and an external USB DVD drive would be
useful but I can live without - internal DVD drive in the iMac a much
preferred solution.
