Could anybody confirm the manufacturer and model of the DVD 'superdrive' in the 1.42Ghz G4 Mini please? I just want to see if there is a RPC-1 region free firmware for the drive.
Thanks!

Matshita UJ-845 ring any bells?

Jacques,
Of the (6) various G4 Mac Minis now open downstairs,
most are Panasonic… with only one Matsushita.
(Apple Combo 8123A / model CW-8123-C) from 1.4 GHz Mini.
BUT, they’re all interchangeable & I have found Panasonics
in the 1.42's too.
The Panasonics are:
(1) Super 835CA / Model UJ-835-C
(2) Super 846CA / Model UJ-846CA
(1) Combo 8124A / CW-8124-CA
(1) Super 845CA / Model UJ-845-C

Thank you both!

Fired up my Mini today and it has a combo drive, not superdrive. Bleh. It's the CW-8124 which has no region free patch. Bummer!

Use VLC maybe?
I think it doesn’t complain.
