Modify a Quicksilver to use two optical drives.

I've been searching around for information on how to modify a Quicksilver to use two optical drives. Can anyone provide me with some insight on this?

Lightbulb Should be doable... may be tricky though

I have a 733MHz Quicksilver too. I know that there's physically enough space to locate a second optical drive above the first where my internal ZIP drive is located, but I am unsure if the mount points are suitably aligned. You would also have to make sure the second optical drive was also in the slave config like the first, so that it still booted correctly from the hard disc (usually this isn't an issue).
