G5 Optical Drive Data Cable
I'm in need of an optical drive data cable. Are they easy to pick up on the cheap? Do they use a standard data cable from any computer parts place?

Hi, They're standard for whatever their interface is at the drive end:- ATA for ATA/IDE, SATA for SATA etc., but the other end might vary between systems, depending on the motherboard/adapter connection.
