Whichever type you buy make sure it can boot from a CD and ideally iTunes compatible.
OSX (as does 9.2.2 I believe) has DiscBurn (you can burn a CD from the Finder) or you will need an after-market product like Toast.
And definitely check out xler8yourmac.com to see different brands of drives and how they functioned in different computers and OS's, problems and basically what you need to know about your project.
Good Luck, Mark

Hi there: I'm thinking about installing an internal CD-RW drive to replace
the current CD drive in my B&W G3/rev2/400/9.1/385mb. What should I keep in
mind? This is new territory for me.
1) Brands to consider or avoid?
2) Technical specs I should know about (IDE, SCSI, USB, Firewire [whatever
that is] etc.)
3) Is it worth considering second-hand or refurbished (EBay etc.)?
4) Necessary software; this would be for backups, and to record music CDs
5) What I might expect to pay for this
