Well, you're not correct these are unavailable, look here: <http:// wegenermedia.com/ibookcdrwhome.htm> However, if a superdrive is worth the cost is up to the potential buyer. I'd go for the DIY CD-RW solution unless I could make sure the video cards built-in support for MPEG-2 decoding was supported by OS X and if I could do this I'd rather choose the Combo solution as I feel the G3 is too weak for burning DVD movies. For data backup, DVD may very well be worth both the cost and using the Superdrive solution. Data can be very expensive to loose. As far as I can tell we on this list have yet to verify if the clamshell iBook video cards built-in support for MPEG-2 decoding is supported by OS X.
