Re: 78rpms to CD - Reality.

Brian,

I think I'm about to order the ATAPI model 12x10x32x Plextor.  I'm 
just not sure about how to install it.  I've got the G3 Blue/white 
model which has an ATAPI hard drive, and I guess has more places on 
the ATAPI bus to plug that into.  Plextor says their CD-RW will work 
with a Mac, and that it comes with installation instructions, but I'm 
not sure if their instructions include how to install in a Mac.  Do 
you know where I can find such instructions on line before I plunk 
down bucks on a device I don't know if I can install?

Thanks for your suggestions.
