Slightly OT but...
Authored by: DizzyPenguin on Mar 29, '04 01:30:33PM
Regarding the optical drive connector, am I right in thinking that it is not SATA, and that I would be able to connect my Pioneer A106 DVD-RW in the G5? I haven't purchased my G5 yet, and I'd like todowngrade the SuperDrive to just a regular ComboDrive when purchasing from Apple, because my Pioneer is nearly new and I don't want it to go to waste.

he was able to use a plain ol' ATA drive by hooking it to the optical ATA chain; ergo, it's regular ATA.

Besides, I just went and looked. It's ATA. Can't testify as to speed, but Apple Spec or System Profiler might.
