i have a iMac G3 with a cd drive... i also have a G4 Sawtooth who is on death's row... I was thinking about taking the Dvd drive out of the Sawtooth so i could put it in the G3.... would this work at all? don't wanna go to all the work for nothing  |

The only way the G4 drive will work on the iMac is with an external case. Either firewire if your iMac has it, or USB. But the USB is only going to be 1.1 so it will be slow.
Another idea will be to do a mod that allows the 5 1/4 drives in an iMac G3 like the iMac G4 or eMac G4's have.
Just an idea...

nah, it's not stupidity, it's just confusion. i get that all the time going "will it work in this?"... get about halfway done the mod and look at it saying to myself "this is so not going to work"
