Add internal DVD drive to PCI G4

[Paul Forbes]

Hi! I have a PCI G4 (Yikes) with only an internal CD drive, but I'd love an internal DVD drive. My Mac also has a ATI Radeon 7000 graphics card which has a built-in DVD decoder. What do I now need to put a DVD drive inside my Mac? (Or, if this is impossible, can I use an external one?)

Hi Gigi, I got my LG Combo drive today. Installed it with no drivers whatsoever and now I can burn CD's and watch DVD's! Thanks so much for your tip.
