Installing DVD drive in Powermac?

[deadfrog]

Hi,

Just bought myself a pioneer dvr 109 for my Digital Audio Powermac, are there any sites which can give me a guide to installing it. I have the manual to my mac, but it doesnt explain how to swap the cd / dvd drive.

Also, i assumed that the drive will work in my machine, can someone just confirm this. (silly i know to buy it without definetly knowing, but i was pretty sure that it would work).

Thanks

Rich.

Unless I'm mistaken, I thought you couldn't swap CD drives in the PMacs or something? I've had people tell me you both can and can't.

They are correct.

and can't.

They are lying to your face.

For future reference, OWC has some nice How To's in both Document (PDF) and Video (MOV).
