Okay guys
I have been thinking.. shall i re-use the Dvd drive?
there is room for it but i really want a better drive, one with a Dual layer burner.
Thanks for the help and ideas!
No, don't do that! Today, I've tried to connect the original drive, using a "JAE50 to SATA" adapter (4 bucks, ebay). The Apple guys are smart, the connector on the DVD drive is rotated 180 degrees, so no one can just buy a non-Apple drive and run it!!
If the drive is connected, then it works but the Apple DVD-Player will not play the disk. See pic:
I've ordered this drive now:
