Case modding an iMac "Tangerine" G3

[Richard Colbert Jr]

That looks like what I am going to have to do. I have an external case that
currently has a Internal BenQ DL DVD+-R/W drive in it. The paperwork for the
case says it supports USB & Firewire, but for the life of me I only see a
USB plug on the back.

Guess Im gonna have to eBay me a Firewire enclosure.

Have you considered simply getting an external Firewire enclosure (you
can even get Firewire enclosures that allow for hot-swapping of the
drive but that seems like overkill to me)?
