What optical drives from other Mac devices can be used in replacement?

I just got a Cube, and it ate my Tiger disc. If someone knows how to get it out it'd be much appreciated. Anyways, it looks like this optical drive is dead, anyone know a fix or a replacement? I have $@$* tons of old iBook G3s, G4s, a Power Mac G4, a Power Mac G3 (Server), and a Power Mac G5. Also some 2006 and 2009 MacBooks, and 2010 and a 2012 MacBook Pro

These came with combo drives and super drives, do you know which one you want?

To replace the original CDROM drive, you need an : ATA/IDE slot-in Superdrive, 12.7mm high.

Hi there. I've tried this with a Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7640A. Tiger/Leopard doesn't seem to recognise it - I notice it was installed in later Intel Macs. Do you think I need to hunt down drivers/firmware and might this be problematic on a PPC?

@treeblopez exactly which PPC are you working on?
