Is it possible? I remember reading an article about it on Xlr8yourmac.com, but couldnt find it.. Does anyone have any links on the subject? Im tired of having a zip-drive I never use, and would like to add a second CD-rom drive instead.
HaxX0ring methods welcome!

Why wouldn't it be possible ? You just need to find a little plastic front.

I was under the impression that you could only fit a 3.5" drive and not a 5.25" drive? (I hope the sizes are correct)

you can indeed add a second optical drive, but you need to modify the bracket somewhat... first of all, you need to cut the lower drive-bay (3.5) off, and move the whole thing a bit upwards, then using metal strips fashion a holder for the lower drive... on xlr8yourmac.com forums there should be a link somewhere...

Basically, it's about as easy as fitting a zip disk into a floppy drive...

I've seen pictures of it, but as tooki stated, it's not an easy feat, although not impossible.

Yep, it's an ugly mod too, inside and out.
