PATA DVDRW drives are getting hard to find. They're not gone yet, but they almost are. Newegg still had an LG or Samsung model for about $22 a week ago or so. It's been on sale twice in the last three weeks, so I suspect they're trying to clear inventory. If you want a Pioneer DVR-118LBK (last of the Pioneer brand PATA DVDRW) drives), the cheapest source I've found is <http:// store.overstock-king.com/product_info.php?products_id=234> at about $30. Most other places are either out of stock or want well over $50 for them. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
