There just aren't any. I wound up buying a USB CDRW, but that is very very slow. If you look around, I believe there is even a DVDRom/CDROM device, but it doesn't write. I contacted Other World Computing about trying to fit one of the slot loading drives from the Cube into the iMac, but they said it doesn't fit. -- Bruce ____________________________________________________ B R U C E K. klutch-at-erols.com -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
