iMac -CDR, CDRW

[fairman]

I have got an old iMac ( G3 333 mhz purple - matches the curtains! ) and I want to get a CDR or a CDRW or a DVDR or whatever will fit with the old beast. Whats my best bet, can anybody kindly advise?

You could just buy an external DVDRW or DVDR drive, that way there is no fiddling around with the inside of the machine... Best bet is to buy a new external drive

iMacs are great machines but, due to their compact nature, fitting things inside them is a tad fiddly unless you know a bit about them. I'd recommend an external CD-RW although I'm sure you can buy an internal CD-RW from Apple. I'd speak to the people at http://www.macwarehouse.co.uk to see if they have anything suitable.

I got a Lacie external firewire CDRW for my old G3 and it works a treat on Macs and PCs. What about something like this? http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=7182

Note: you will not have Firewire port if your iMac has the 'tray loading' CD drive.
