Check this out in Bells Corners.  I have an older model (PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-110D) that works great in my PM G4.

Thanks.
I'll check it out.
Just to be a bit more specific, this is for a PowerMac MDD 1.25ghz.
I have a 400 mhz G4 PM and the optical drive from it doesn't fit in the 1.25ghz.

Most drives should work or at least should be able to be made to work with your Mac. Have a look at the following link for a drive compatibility database:
