Benjamindaines said:That will not work, you will need an external one. Even if you did find a slot loading one (and you wont) you can't open the iMac without voiding your warrantee.
Well, if you find an enclosure, I personally didn't know they made them for disc drives.reykjavik said:What do you mean, why can't you just throw it into an external enclosure like Lacie does and connect it via USB or Firewire?

I used a peecee I had lying around to update the firmware - you have to connect to the peecee via USB or by internal ATA - then installed it on my Mac.
