My current bf got me a superdrive for my freakishly modded iBook.... We are gonna test to see if it works tomorrow. It is a toshiba superdrive, not a sony... so we are crossing our fingers that it is supported. If not, it should at least be bootable (since the combo drives were toshibas) and I can use Toast DVD. 
I *heart* hardware!

I though the original superdrives were pioneer, but it may not be for lappys, I dont have one so I wouldn't know. Hopefully iDVD will work with it since its on the internal ata bus
The new iDVD (iDVD 4) has way better templates than previous and is much more powerful, but i have to archive all mine cause i dont got a superdrive in me imac YET.
Is that slot or tray loading?
