| Can I upgrade my PowerBook (Ti 667) with a DVD-R
I am selling my Powerbook, but the person who wants to buy it wants a DVD writer on board (I use an external with it at the mo). Do I have options? Where would I source a compatible writer (in the UK)? Any ideas much appreciated. Any ball park prices also welcome. I know that there is very little point in such an upgrade, but that's what the girl wants.... shrug. Cheers.  |

You might find 'em cheaper even. Slim slot in drives can be found almost everywhere online... The Pioneer DVR-K04L/Pioneer DVR-K05L/Pioneer DVR-K06L should fit in G4 PowerBooks more recent than the original TiBooks, IIRC. (I'd double-check that before ordering, though... Haven't ever built one in myself...)
