Hi guys... My daughter has an original iMac... The CD drive went craps and I can get a USB CDR for less $$$ then replacing the original CD drive... However, the CDR is SLOOOOW... Is there any what I can upgrade the USB in the iMac from 1.0 to 2.0 and take advantage of faster file transfer??? Thanx Steve
