    MP 1,1-5,1 MP3,1 optical drive

    would the OEM optical from a MP1,1 work in a MP3,1. The dual Optiarc AD7170A in the MP3,1 are very hit and miss to mount commercial DVD. or is there a driver or firmware issue? Or something that's a SATA retrofit that is from this century? And what SATA cable would be needed if so.?
