Thanks for the info, Eric. Cutting Edge sells an LG GSA-4163B
internal for $61. I want external, so they said they could put it in
a case for an additional $32.00. There are 32 reports about this
drive on the website you mentioned below. At first, I couldn't find
any entries at all, but after I left all the fields blank except for
the drive number (GSA-4163B), 32 came up.
Some of the reports are quite technical, but it appears it will work
with my iBook G3, although I might need something like Patchwork 3.
I'm not sure what this Patchwork is exactly yet. Does anyone know?
So, Tee, do you think this is a good bet for me, or does anyone have
any comments?
iBook G3 900
OS 10.3.8
I use dial-up.
I gather that firewire is the best port to use. I think I have a
firewire port. Not sure. Is it the one that has sort of v-shape
underneath the port? I have two USB ports.
Pls advise. Thanks.
Leith
