    I'm sure I could supply a replacement DVD or CD drive for a small cost (most of the cost would likely be for shipping) if that would make this issue no longer a problem, and solve your optical drive problems. ;-)

    If you can't do the mechanical work of opening it up, then you could always send me the mini itself, and I'd fix the optical drive issue, and send it back to you, at cost. 8-)

    I use my Mac Mini with 6+ USB hubs, but they are all externally powered, and they offer me about 20 additional USB ports, so external USB ports do work with the Mac Mini - just so you know :-P . . . 8-)

    I'm not sure if you've got an Apple keyboard, but if you have one of the older A1048 keyboards then that keyboard has 2 additional USB 1.1 (IIRC) ports on the back of it which are useable with MorphOS.

    Let me know if you're interested. My profile states where I am located. :-D
