Hi,

I am totally unfamiliar with Sun workstations, but we have an Ultra Sparc 10
here whose CD-ROM drive has gone bad.
So I want to replace it with a new one.

My question is, can I use any regular 20$ IDE CD-ROM drive that I can buy in
any PC store or do I need a replacement part from Sun?

Thanks!

I asked this same question a few weeks ago about an Ultra 5 (which is
_very_ similar to an Ultra 10) and was told any generic drive would
work fine. I tried it, and sure enough -- no problem. In fact, I
ended up putting in a cheap DVD drive, which seems even better to me.
