I have a PC version of the A03, which was similar to the model that was used as the original SuperDrive. Alas, I don't have an IDE card.
<stepping on soapbox> I can buy an IDE card for the PC for $15, but the Mac one costs $90. <stepping down>
I have an LG DVD burner that I can't say enough good about. Its my 3rd, the others (1 pioneer, 1 sony) were never reliable. This one is the only one I know of that can read and write all the DVD formats, as well as all the CD formats. I've burned over 100 CD's/DVD's on it, and I've never had a failure. It has burnproof tech., so it'd work even on a slower machine like my 7500/180 I'd bet.
(If you are wandering, the drive supports DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-I, etc. - I haven't found another one that supports DVD-RAM's as well as standard DVD's)
OWC is selling a DVD Superdrive . and promise to have it configured soon for the early G3 machines !
UH . . . maybe then ? Or maybe not ! The internal buss speed might still be a problem.( on legacy Macs )
Hooking it up isn't the catch. Getting it to work on a 50 MHz bus without careful hacking sounds like wrestling a bear.
I guess I gotta save my pennies for a newer machine.
