PowerCD Hack

I have a Apple PowerCD drive that i would like to put to some use, but i would like to upgrade it to at least a dvd-rom drive (although i would prefer a dvd-r/w drive), and i want it to be firewire or usb2. I want to be able to use this as an external on my imac...
anyone know if anyone has done this? any recommended drives? anything??

Hm,

I haven't heard of anything like that before... but it sound interesting.
I once read that the original drive is a standard Philips CD-Drive, so it may be possible to replace it, but I don't know whether the display will still work.
I have 3 PowerCDs and I can take one apart and post some pics so you don't have to take yours apart if it is your only one

that would be great,
i've always been kind of hesitant to crack it open, just because it is my only one
thanks
