Make Tray Loading Optical Drive External

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I have iMac G4 that died.  I got the answer for using the hard drive as an external device on another computer.  I am wondering, can I do the same thing with the optical drive.  I have a video camera that makes the small DVD's - I need a tray loading optical drive to use them.  All the new Macs have slot loading optical drives.  I expect there is no package solution, but I would be happy with a Jerry-rigged one.  I can scavenge parts from the iMac if necessary
