Re: Apple M0130 -> SuperDrive mech?

Apple 800k 3.5" or Superdrive External drives are relatively cheap on ebay.
It may save you some trouble to just find a complete external assembly
rather than hope a drive mechanism will work in an untested case.  I know
you can drop a superdrive in an 800k case but not sure the interface is
compatible with the 400k drive.

I have bought 2 super drive external units for < US$10 each on ebay (what's
that.. about SK100 for you!). 800k 3.5" drives should be cheaper still.
Biggest expense for you would probably be overseas shipping if you buy one
out of the US.  Maybe you can find one nearer the European continent from
ebay.de or ebay.co.uk or ebaysweden.com or some other site.
