install T42 DVD drive in a desktop PC?
install T42 DVD drive in a desktop PC?
I'm building a new desktop PC. I'd like to temporarily install the IBM DVD I scavenged from my decommissioned T42 (FRU 39T2675, Hitatchi model # GCC-4242N-R4). I already have a nice optical drive in my current desktop that I will eventually move to the new system. Is there any inexpensive hardware/cables for this?
Re: install T42 DVD drive in a desktop PC?
Not sure there are, and if there are, it will be faster, and probably cheaper to just get a desktop DVD drive. Will perform better to. T4x DVD drives are awful.
Current: Thinkpad 25 (20K7), Yoga 14 (20FY), X220 4291-4BG, T410 2537-R46, T60 2007-QPG, T42 2373-F7G
Collectibles: T430s (IPS FHD + Classic Keyboard), X32 (IPS Screen)
Retired: X61 7673-V2V, T60 1952-F76, A31p w/ Ultrabay Numpad
