Hi Vito, I needed to open the case of the media bay module. Mine contained a TEAC 10x (Apple claimed 12x) CD-ROM drive whose form factor is very close to the standard slim-line CD-ROM drives. In order to dissassemble I needed to remove the four screws on the sides of the module and pull the grey bottom case. The connector adaptor board fitted with the CD-W28E. Only one of the mounting screw holes was at the same position but that's sufficient. I don't know if the media bay case of the 6x and 8x units are different.
