Yep.
IIRC, G5s had SATA interface for the hard drives, and ATA for the optical
drive(s).

G5’s use SATA drives and optical drives. QS systems use ATA.  
Different interface.

Thanks, Bruce.

I am about to purchase an LG drive from OWC (with an SATA-IDE/ATAPI
converter).  I realize that I will likely loose write capability, but I
think that is a function of the adapter that is coming with the product.

 I'm in the process of researching other adapters that might allow me to
write with the appropriate S/W.

Yeah, finding an ATA optical drive is kinda hard nowadays. 

Honestly the simplest and cheapest solution would be to go with an external USB 
one:

https://www.google.com/search?q=external+optical+disk+drive=safari=en=lnms=shop=X=0ahUKEwiB4NH_1ujVAhVG2WMKHT15DIwQ_AUICigB=1801=1381
 


Like this one: 
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-8x-external-usb-double-layer-dvdrw-cd-rw-drive/5852919.p

If you’re running 10.5.8 (iirc) any functional optical drive should be 
recognized with all capabilities so this will work as a DL +/- burner.

This has the advantage of being transportable to other systems as needed.
