I investigated this for my aborted iMac in CC project. The adapter is not documented anywhere; but it can be worked out fairly easily. Stuart ------------- Wow fast responce. First it is a 24x-speed ATAPI CD-ROM drive from a 1998 iMac. It says so on the motherboard. I wish it was SCSI but it's not. I have IDE on the logicboard im using in the SE (63xx)and I need a small CD-ROM to fit in the case. Stuart, how would you recomend I go about working out the adapter?
