I bought a 1.5GHz G4 Mini with Combo Drive.
Ordered a Superdrive via eBay and fitted it (2 minute job - done it many times previously).
Panasonic Model UJ-846-B march 2008

On this occasion, the drive fails to work. I can insert a disc and eject it (using the button on the front of the drive) but the drive isn't "seen" by the Mini.
See http://www.elliotroth.com/temp/drive.png

I received a second drive from the seller and it has the same problem.

I assume that it doesn't have the correct "driver" firmware installed.
Any answer apart from "ask for a refund"?
 
I forgot to mention that I'm running OS10.4.11.
I've fired up "Patchburn" and it can't detect a drive so I think they are simply faulty.
