Hi,
I have a Powerbook G4 12" 867mhz,
I was wondering if it is possible to put the Superdrive from an old TiBook in it?
Greetings

No. The slot-loading mechanisms were completely different. It's not possible.

However.....I upgraded my 867 with a Pioneer DVR-K06, works beautifully! They are not that expensive.

Blackstar - don't bother. Get as Fivell says a DVR-K06, these work -much- better. I'd recommend a pro install it as the 12" PB was a right PITA to get the drive in/out of.
