Hi there Does anybody know if you can buy those fancy internal superdrives seperatley? If so would I be able to install on my G3 imac?

I also need to buy a flat bed scanner can I use any thing or soes it have to be mac specific?

And finally does anybody know of a big and quiet hard drive I replace my current really bloody noisy one with ?

Basically any modern scanner with usb/fw/scsi interface from a reputable maker like Epson, HP and the like should work just fine.

Have an Epson Perfection SU-1640 myself at home, it works great.

Depends on the Scanner, in OS-X you get a bunch of drivers for printers at least. ( HP, Epson Canon - among others)
Dont remember offhand if any drivers for scanners were included.

To my Epson-1640 - I download drivers from Epson-s website. They install as a twain-module/driver, so I can aquire the scanner from the Filemenu in Photoshop.

Safest bet would be to visit the scanner vendors website-s and download the proper drivers.
