| convert external firewire cd-rw drive into internal for pc? Hi all, I have an external firewire Que! cd-rw drive that I'd like to take out of its case and install in my home-brew pc. The case is semi-transparent, and I can see that the drive itself is connected to a firewire adapter within the case, so I suspect I could open the case, unplug the drive from the adapter, then pop it into an available drive bay on my pc. Is this nutty? Can I do that?  |

| sounds reasonable.. I belive that the drive itself is a EIDE drive... Just plug it in and make sure you power is correct though....
