DVD-RAM

[Buzz]

I had a beige Mac desktop that had a cartridge loading DVD-RAM drive, then another beige Mac desktop that had a more normal tray loading DVD-RAM that was twice as fast and capacious. Don't remember which exact models they were (Q650/PM7100/7600/7300/G3?), but then later in the PowerMac era there were more Macs that had drives that were still compatible w/ the DVD-RAM media... pretty much purged the whole DVD-RAM saga from the memory cells, but did hang on to a couple of the cartridges for awhile, and still have three shrink wrapped 5.2GB Type 1 discs that I paid $20 each for. IIRC, G4's thru the Gig-E tower were DVD-RAM friendly (bigger/faster Type 2), and some PM's after that could still read 'em, but not write 'em unless an older compatible, or third party drive was used. Probably easier to find someone w/ an older machine to transfer your data, than other options. Also, open to all offers on the three shrink wrapped DVD-RAM media. :-)
