Looks like my DVD-RAM drive bit the dust. I have a handfull of 5.2GB/2.6GB DVD-RAM Catridges (Panasonic LM-DB26) that I need to read to pull data. What would be the easiest way?

My G4 was an AGP Sawtooth 450 w/ SCSI drives, but I think the DVD-RAM drive is IDE.

I thought it was the power supply but when I swapped the DVD-RAM drive with an AGP 400, the drive is not powering up.

Where can I buy a drive, if I have to buy a new one, to read these discs?

Thanks!
