[Macpartners] Flaky Powermac G5 DVD drive

[Allan Doyle]

I have a Powermac G5 with a flaky DVD drive. The drive drawer will not  
open if there is media in the drive unless I boot into the firmware  
(command-option-O-F) and use 'eject cd', in which case it does open.

Based on the collective wisdon, what's the best (cheapest!) way I can  
get a replacement drive? The system is not under AppleCare. I don't  
even need a whizzy dual-layer drive, I just need to be able to install  
from DVDs.

And, as long as I mentioned AppleCare, what is the MIT policy/ 
suggestion on AppleCare?
