A Mirror Door G4. The second panel is already hinged, is this not the case on the earlier model? If not, contact Apple, they must be able to supply you with one. Worst comes to worst, just take the panel out, I think Its just clipped in there. I got a Toshiba (I think its the 1712 model) Manufacturer : TOSHIBIT Product : 16xDVD 48xCD Int IDE OEM Quicklinx : 288CWS from dabs.com cost �32 + VAT. I checked xlr8.com site to see which drives were compatible. Seems like they nearly all are under OSX. Doesn't need to be a specific "mac" drive. Fitting involved removing 2 screws, remove the drive holder, slide in the new drive, screw it in with the supplied four screws, refit. Attach power and ATA cables. Bingo. (BTW I set it as Cable Select) OSX is so damn clever, it instantly recognised it, plus it automatically put an eject symbol in the menu bar, top right hand side, where you can select which drive you wish to eject. Fantastic. Shortcut is Option Eject for the lower tray.
