Other Brand Drives

#1 Post by TripleJ » Tue Jun 29, 2004 12:38 pm

I am looking to buy a combo CDRW/DVD drive for my 600E. Can I buy any slimline style IDE drive and use my exisiting cdrom rails/caddy? Are there only particular brands I should be looking at that will physically work?

Thanks for the advice...

Yes and LG Electronics.

But the faceplate won't match the front of the 600 and you might have to file/grind it down a tad to fit.

Search for FASTMOTT on eBay.
