The easiest thing is just to put in an IDE drive, besides being much
cheaper. CompUSA has QUE 24x drives for $99 again after rebate this week (I
bought one last time, but since it sold for over $200 on ebay so I never
installed it)
I like the Sony ones. A few months ago I bought the 8x4x32 because its the
same drive as was in the G4 towers (the brand new towers have a 12x drive
but I didn't check who made them).
I would check out xlr8yourmac in their drive compatibility area for info
about all the drives that will work. If you have a Rev 2 or 3 G3 you can put
in slave drives. I bought a Rom chip (back when they were cheap) so I could
have two CD drives.
