salvage components from dead imac
Hi,
we have an imac dv se 400 at work that has the firmware osx problem now as S4, as in dead without going to the jumper-hardware trick and no one is willing to risk electrocution for this old machine! my question is whether the dvd/cd drive can be recycled in another machine like a beige G3 or even an external case; and same question for the hard drive, though I think that would be easier. I'm guessing the firewire and usb ports on the side must be soldered to the board, though. thanks for any input (or another solution for S4 than the old floppy cable trick)
