Inside , I found that it contains a Sony CRX120E ATA Drive. My question is . Can I replace the CD drive in My Gossimer G3 rev. A with this unit and get it to burn reliably and which driver would I need to get it to work ? Also is it possible to put an ATA hard drive in the case instead of the CDRW and use it as an ext. USB HD . Would the Gossimer recognize the drive and work with it reliably as a second HD since the Rev. A's do not support two ATA HD's ?
