Re: What brand is the DVD-Rom in the G4 Towers?
If you mean the SuperDrive I belive its Pioneer, I did note it adds $1000 to the price of the flat screen iMac while to buy the same drive for a pc I think was $1800. I read that it is indeed the Pioneer A03 SuperDrive - $885 + GST to anyone with a wholesale account at a PC parts dealer... So for a tad over $1000 bucks you could put one in an external case on any FireWire equipped Mac. Apple is apparently now using the Pioneer A04, which should be landing in Perth for $799 wholesale ex tax in the not too distant future. Note that the drives Apple puts in its machines may have slightly different ROMs to those in off the shelf units, which may not guarantee perfect compatilibily (with Apple software at least) so caveat emptor.

What brand is the DVD-Rom in the G4 Towers?
I'm interested in putting together a DVD-ROM setup for my G4 tower and want to know which one Apple uses so I can be sure of it working with the Apple DVD Player. -- I once worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax.

The myth that apples are more expensive than pcs is on its way out.
