Replace Slot Load CD-ROM in Indigo iMac

I have an iMac that I am refurbishing and I am thinking about replacing the SlotLoad CD-ROM in my fire-wire Indigo G3/500MHz iMac. Are multiple models I should be looking at?

iBook G3, Power Mac G3 B/W eq w/Sonnet G4 Processor, Mac OS X (10.4.9), LaCie CD-RW iSight, iPod Mini, 256MB RAM

Not sure what you're asking for here but I have dropped a DVD-ROM in these 500s. Works great. See other post here "too slow to play DVDs".

There are several different models listed in ebay
1) CRN-8482B
2) SR 8186
3)Cube CDRW/CD-ROM

I was looking at the CRN-8482B but wondered what the others were

Hmmm dunno'.
I have 3 CD-ROMs here all CRN-8242B
The two DVD-ROMs are Matshita SR-8184
Just make sure what you get has a Apple Brand on it. Otherwise you wouldn't be guaranteed that it will boot, it might.
