OK, next question, are there any replacement/upgrade drives so I can 
get CDRW and maybe DVDRW?


Rad..
----------------------------
As per recent discussions about the Sony 830, there are LOTS of options for a 
Combo CDRW/DVD and several for a DVD-RW.
Check out xlr8yourmac.com under their Drive Upgrades database.

Personally I've  used several different brands of Combo in my Pismos and can 
recommend them all: Sony, Matshita, LG, Teac. I've also used a few different 
DVD-RWs too: Toshiba SD-R6472 which is currently the fastest DVD-R out there 
(8x for both DVD-R and DVD+R, 4 x RW, 2.4x Dual Layer), as well as the 
slot-loading Superdrives Apple uses in the G4 powerbooks: Panasonic Matshita 
UJ-815 and UJ-825, the latter being faster at 4x vs. 2x.

I like the slot-loading option, as you could keep the drive if you upgrade to a 
G4 with Combo in the future: just swap the drives and resell the Pismo with the 
slot-loading Combo from the G4.

IIRC, the UJ-825 is on sale somewhere for about $130, which is a great deal. 
Highly recommended. 

Good luck.
