I tested it this morning and it's still working fine. I installed a program off it and burned a music CD.

OK, can it work with a 12" and how much for it?

$100 shipped sounds reasonable enough for these combo drives. I'm negotiable though.
Yes, it will work in the 12" iBook - I originally intended to put it my 12" before the logic board went out of it again.

No thanks, I can get one for $45 on eBay. I was hoping for prices to be cheaper. If you meant $100 for all your drives, then I only need one that will fit in a 12" G3 iBook...

In fact I can get a Superdrive for that much.

Wait a minute. Can you fit a Superdrive into the iBook G3?
The Superdrive was never an option for the iBook G3 back then. Since all iBook G4s' optical drivers were all 'slot-load' and 'tray-load' on the iBook G3, how does it work?

I think you can just change the bezel... one for a G4 almost fit. There's also one on eBay that fits and its a slot load, but it doesn't match altogether.

Internally, it is different. As I said, it DOESN'T fit but gets really close to.

But if you put a slot load drive into a g3, you'll have either a gaping hole on the exterior or the bezel will block the drive altogether.

True, very true. I never did think you can actually get one to work with a G3. All I wanted was a combo drive for a G3 or s Superdrive if they made one then. Then the thread crapping started. I need someone to close this thread. Thanks.

IDK who you're talking to, because it seems that if you're talking to me, you're mixed up. Kenneth is a different member. I only had one offer, and I denied it since it was too much for a single drive. No need to be all snotty about it. It wasn't even YOUR offer at that...or Kenneth's. But seriously, someone close this thread!
