I too would like to know if a DVD RAM drive (removed from a DP 500 MHz G4 when a DVD-RW was fitted) is fully compatible with a B&W G3 rev 1. If so, it would be useful for backing up my photographic scans, as not many 100MB + files fit on a CDR. Steve Bell -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
