Super Drive for Pismo
Hi Peter, Where would one look for these drives?

Given the track record of those pismo drives, I'd think twice about paying even $70 for a refurbished one. LOL! A brand-new, compatible super drive, which includes two-layer writing, can be had for $105 or a tad more. None will accept the old bezel, though. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

dealmac.com will list DVD sales on the net and in stores like bestbuy etc. The Pioneer 110 drive is down to about $50 from time to time. Add $25-50 for a USB-Firewire case.

My Pismo is my backup laptop... and it's CD/DVD-RAM (combo) drive works only sporadically. The DVD drive will play a movie, for example, but the CD drive won't boot up/load 9 out of 10 times... has been this way since I got it (eBay purchase a year ago.) Is this above-mentioned replacement drive an internal or external? I have always been under the impression that replacing anything on a laptop is much more risky (as in, easy to screw up?)... Advice?

In general, yes, laptops are easier to screw up, but replacing the optical drive on a Pismo is very easy, since the entire drive pops right out. There are two or three (I forget) small philips-head screws and one connector to detach. I scrounged a slot-loading combo drive from a defunct TiBook, and did the swap on my Pismo in about 10 minutes. This is easier than adding memory. -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig who says 'Ni!' -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

A DVR-110 is an EIDE/UATA drive, and needs an external Firewire, USB or Firewire/USB case. The DVR-K05 is usable in your Pismo's media bay, but there is no possibility of the Matshita (Panasonic) bezel fitting it. Even the current Panasonic drives cannot use that bezel. However, the discontinued UJDA-series of drives might be able to use that bezel. Since a standard 12.7mm slot loader will fit the media bay, I just use it that way. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
