It's usually 128, 256, 512, 768 or 1 GB. I'm curious to see how you got 597... He probably has 64 + 512 = 576, maybe with virtual memory enabled. Most slim form burners are compatible with the expansion bay unit, just swap them in for the original DVD. Check out the xlr8yourmac Database under Pismo and Expansion bay. You could also consider a DVD-R/W, such as the UJ-825 from Panasonic, the same 4x DVD-R drive that Apple uses in the G4's. Prices are falling, e.g. you can get it at newegg for around $140-150, which is a great deal (if they shipped overseas I'd buy one myself! drat...). You can find new Combo CD-RW/DVD (DVD read only) drives for under $80 if you want to spend less. You might also need to modify the controller board in the expansion bay unit to have the drive recognized as Master (ID = 0), which prevents sleep/hot swap/boot problems (drive not recognized). Or check xlr8yourmac for a drive that comes set to Master from the factory. Lots of choice. Good luck, Chris -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It's usually 128, 256, 512, 768 or 1 GB. I'm curious to see how you got 597... As for the DVD burner, you might be able to get an external FireWire one. There has been a few patch that will fool OS X in thinking that the drive is recognized. OS X will only recognize internal drives that were sold by Apple by default. You might also be able to find a drive that would fit in your DVD drive expansion bay. Look in the G-Books list archive and I'm sure you'll find plenty of messages from users that got one in their Pismo. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] geek n.: A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance.
