First Mod.... Bought an Apple Slot load DVD for a epia project I'm working on, saw the Zapwizard mod and the rest is history! Noticed the wires poking out of the top? That's cos I slipped with the superglue on my mini microswitch and had to cut a hole in the top for a bigger one! Still plays dvd's using my pc... Camera Battery ran out here. If anyone is interested I'll take some more of the insides when I get time... What do you think?
Got the drive on ebay for about £40. Came with an apple 50 pin adapter that I had to fudge to work with normal ide. Usually you don't get the connector. Normal laptop connecters are the wrong way around and stick out...
Very pretty in bloooooo like that a lot. Can't wait to see the rest of the project with the epia board...... low profile dvd and ickle mobo= small pc ?? Keep up the good work, will be watching.
Got a nice gutted games console case standing on my desk... Zap, Glad you felt warm and fuzzy I shorted the wires and the power cable melted... Still works
i purchased an apple slot loading drive and i cannot get it to work with windows. the model number is CW-8121-C. the bios sees the drive just fine but when i boot in to windows the drive does not install itself. anything i need to try? i found a list of information about this drive on the manufacturers website: http://panasonic.co.jp/mke/en/device/storage/dvd_cd/cw_8121_b.html
