Hi all; hope someone can help me out with a dilemma. I have been given a
GX110 by a friend who no longer wants it. Problem was. it had no CD ROM. I
have managed to get hold of one of these and the ribbon cable to connect it
up (presumably to an IDE cable). The thing is, it appears to be too small to
fit onto the casing above the power supply to attach it anywhere. Is there
supposed to be a caddy or a carriage of sorts that the CD unit fits into to
lock it into the unit?
Many thanks
John

Yes. The GX110 uses a tray/slider that the drive mounts into.
