I've recently dropped my Powerbook on concrete. While most of the system is working, the Slot-in drive is dented. A direct Apple replacement will cost me approximately CD$400 for a combo and CD$800 for a Superdrive.
By suggestion of the macshop that will do the repairs, I've been looking around for alternatives and have come accross this:

This is the Superdrive that is used in the latest 15" Albook. I am not sure about the "-B" designation, but the dimensions seem to match the other slot-in drives.
I'm wondering whether I will be able to use this drive in Powerbook without any problems. Will I need any special or modified drivers?
Thanks,
docholiday

Anyone? Hmm, maybe I should have posted this in the Mac Mod section.

It should work fine.
Good luck cracking that sucker open!
