Searched but haven't come up with any recent suggestions, so thought I'd throw this out there.
My Superdrive has been acting up lately; burning iPhoto discs (or burning from burn folder, for that matter) have been producing more frequent coasters these days.
I was thinking of popping a new drive in there but there don't seem to be a lot of IDE choices. I did find one locally but the tray would not fit through the slot when I hooked it up and tried to use it.
Any thoughts? I have (after the fact) thought that maybe I could have pulled the plastic front off the CD tray. But as it was a friend's DVD burner I did not want to do that and have it not work out.
Am I stuck running a SATA cable? I have seen some links here somewhere that referenced this. And then how will I ensure I get a drive that will fit the slot?
