I recently acquired a DP 1.25 gHz G4 MDD. It is running OS 10.5.8. It
has 2 optical drives, a DVD burner and a DVD-CDRW drive. I am thinking
of replacing the DVD-CDRW with a ZIP 250 drive. I have 2 questions:
1. Will this work in Leopard?
2. I have read that this machine was offered with a ZIP option. Are
there any sort of rails/adapters for installing this in the second
optical drive slot? Also, is there any sort of bezel for such an
installation?
Thanks,

Putting a Zip drive of any type in the MDD seems to me to be much
like putting
a 4 cylinder 1956 VW motor in a 2010 Maserati. Why? Just to see if it
can be
done?
It would seem to be much better, and probably simpler, just to search
around and
get a USB Zip 250 drive, if you have some perverse desire to consign
your data to
an often unreliable medium.
