Could I hear from anyone out there who has successfully
transplanted a
Pioneer DVR-109 DVD/RW unit into a G4 667MHz tower?...
I have one in my G4/400 under Tiger and it works perfectly.
did you replace the original drive? If so are the master/slave
settings
the same as the old drive?
Yes, I 1-for-1 replaced the CD drive that was in there. Forgot
initially
to check the master/slave setting, and indeed it was set wrong, so I
changed it to master, which matched the drive I took out (I think this
drive is on its own IDE channel all by itself).
Is the cable securely fastened?
Seems to be, but who knows? I will have to check it all again
shortly...
I had problems getting it to fully seat in my machine. It might just
be a dud. The read write head might be NG or just dirty or
misadjusted.
The cable was looking a bit shoddy too, so I may just need to replace
the
ribbon cable... not too hard or too expensive. I should probably
remove
the drive and verify it works by putting it in another machine, tho.
Thanks,
KR
