  • DV Mac or eMac?

    That is the question. I have a DV Mac but really need the ability to burn
    DVD's and CD's and would love to have a superdrive to do it. How does the
    emac compare to my DV Mac and does Apple make a superdrive I can install
    into my DV Mac? I love my DV Mac and don't really want to cough up another $1500.

    Thanks

    Buy a Pioneer A05 retail package or 105 oem bare drive, or any of
    several bundles with the same hardware inside from companies such as La
    Cie. They are cheap now because the A06 is coming soon. Swap drives and
    you are all set. Once it's in, the OS will recognize it.

    What kind of "DV Mac"? If it's an iMac DV, changing your optical drive
    is a bit of a pain but possible (there are instructions on the web). If
    it's a G4 tower, it's a 5 minute job. I just did it.
