Using Your DVD Drive
You can install or run software from CD and DVD discs using the DVD drive. You can
also use your DVD drive to play DVD movies, multimedia on CD-ROM discs, and music
from audio CDs.
Note: If you have older software that comes on floppy disks, contact the software
manufacturer to see if the software is available on a CD-ROM disc or purchase an external
USB or FireWire floppy disk drive (such as an LS120/SuperDisk) for your Power Mac G4 from
your Apple dealer or the Apple Store (www.apple.com/store).
