So after getting my slick cw-8123-c DVD/cdrw drive (of powerbook origins) off ebay, it seems there is a small albeit humorous complication. It turns out that the connector for the 7121 and the 8123 are upside-down from one another-- that is, the adapter board that I have now fits fine on the original drive, but sticks out like a panhandle on the other drive, since it is made to connect the other direction. Though I could probably make it work (since I will be mounting the drive on my own in an enclosure), it does kind of suck... is there any other adapter board or some way to get around this? Maybe there is a different cw-8123-c drive out there?
