Slim, slot loading DVD/CD install inside stock A1200 case???
« on: April 13, 2008, 11:26:32 PM »
I have a SuperDrive from a dead Mac PowerBook G4 that I would like to install into my 060 A1200.  I have seen a couple of CD/DVD drives installed in A1200s but they were not slot loading types.  My question is what adapter do I need to use both my existing IDE 2.5" HD and the IDE SuperDrive?  What type of ribbon cable do I look for to connect to the SuperDrive?  It does not look like a standard cable for a 2.5" HD.

I think I know how to do it, but I am looking for tips and advice before I get started.

 You need a "JAED" adaptor in the DVD drive and a split IDE cable, like the ones Amigakit sells (or Vesalia).


Any suggestions on where to find the JAED adaptor?  I'll go google it now.  Thanks for the tip.
