I have a 1400 myself. Hi, I have a 1400 that I was going to attempt to make work with a DVD drive. I decided a few days ago to try to make a 1400c/ G3 400mhz work w/ a DVD-R drive in the expansion bay. I have a 1400 Sonnet G3/400 that a relative was using, but they have moved up to a Wallstreet. Then a few months ago, I bought a 3rd party CD-R/DVD-R slot-loading drive for my Lombard 400mhz. The seller had problems with the order, and to make up for the mishap I was sent two. I put one of the drives in a cd-rom carrier for the Lombard, and it works just fine... So with the extra one, I am going to try to get it working in the 1400. Getting the DVD drive itself to fit inside the Cd-rom carrier from a 12x (the only one U can use, from what I have read!) should not be a problem. However, one source stated that the fastest processor possible should probably be used; a G3 for certain. A G2 probably will not be fast enough to deal with a DVD, so I have been told... Craig W.
