Can someone tell me are DVD Rom drives mostly the same. I have an old computer that I want to do up for my grandson to play games on. It needs a new DVD drive and Hard drive. They are a MAXTOR Diamondmax plus 9 80GB ATA/133 HDD and an ULTIMA DMH-G48 DVD/CD ROM I have seen a second hand hard drive that is the same and I have seen a few DVD ROMS that are the same. I would prefer to replace them with the same units as I could just plug them into the existing connections, however if i have to what spec would I have to look for the replace them. I have seen an Ultima DHI-G40 160GB would this be suitable. I dont want to spend loads of money out on this as it is just a step gap till he is old enough for something better. I am not too PC technically experienced but can put my hand to most things and with a little help from someone it would be nice to have go.
