Where would you recommend looking? I shall now eat humble pie :) DVDROM/CDRW drives like the Sony CRX820E do seem to be nearer the $100 mark, which I suppose makes $70 look rather better if you want something that preserves the look of your Pismo. Given the track record of those pismo drives, I'd think twice about paying even $70 for a refurbished one. I've had mine for 5 years now and it is still going strong. Well, I think you've been quite lucky. (btw sorry if my original response was rather abrupt; reading it back now it comes across as somewhat tetchy!)

Re: dvd for pismo
I try to pass on anything that I come across relating to parts for the G3 Pismo and Lombard- both of which I have and like to use. I have an extra DVD module and an an extra Zip module that I picked up really cheap (compared to what they cost when they were first offered!) Now I need to replace the keyboard in my Lombard and was told that there were a few available on ebay- is there any other alternative place to go for a replacement or is ebay the best choice? I've only ever bought 1 thing on ebay and it was in lousy shape so I'm skittery about it...- it's such a pain to return things Ed -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: dvd for pismo
Ed, I was going to buy a keyboard for our Lombard off of ebay. However, I found one used for the same amount from someone that i knew. Personally, for the $25 I've seen them go for on ebay, I think they'd work fine. Other places still want $100 for them.

Re: dvd for pismo
Surely, for about the same price, you could get a brand new CDRW module? 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...

Re: MacOS X.2.3 install from DVD on Pismo?
Hi James I was able to boot up and install from an OS 10.2.3 DVD on my Pismo. Worked great.

I've seen one of the DVD(ROM?)s offered at a good price, but am wondering if it should work on my Pismo. Has anyone attempted/installed from these (all-on-one) DVDs? The disc appears to be the grey color (OEM?) like the eMac CDROM sets that OWC has been selling for a while, and I think it's originally from a PBG4-14 inch. Can the DVD be used in my Pismo's DVDROM drive, or does anyone know *for sure* (actually tried it yourself, successfully or not)? Not 'a friend of a friend' anecdotal, but actual, first-hand experience, please. Also, if it indeed can mount on the Pismo'a drive, can I backup the DVD's contents to (a couple of) CDROMs on my burner (after making a disc image from it, I'm sure)? Any and all personal experiences you can share will be quite appreciated. Thanks, Jim Rohde -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
