Hi all,
It appears my superdrive is DEAD. It doesn't even show up in the system profiler anymore. I cannot afford a new computer, otherwise I'd have replaced this dinosaur a LONG time ago. Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions for a new superdrive? I'm running 10.4.11 on a Dual 2.0ghz G5 PowerMac. There are too many to choose from, so I'm looking for ones that some of you have used and had good luck with.
Thanks!
Tom

I stocked up on G5 superdrives because I was concerned PATA DVD burners would dry up in supply. I should be selling them off.

It's amazing how cheap these drives are.
I get all my gear from them, large A/C powered & small portable external firewire HD's, etc.
Ultra quick shipping.
