My Quicksilver G4 733 has a simple, internal CD-ROM drive/burner. I'd like to supplement that with an external DVD drive/burner that will work at least as well as Apple's SuperDrive (DVD=B1RW/CD-RW) on single sided media. I am thinking external because I could also use it with my new 12" iBook which has the Combo drive What Brand/Models should I look at? I assume I would use Firewire. I noticed the enthusiasm in the list for the Pioneer DVR-110D. But I'm confused. I do not see this model at the Pioneer web site, and listers seem to use it in internal mount only. >> The Pioneer DVR-110D has been problem free once installed internally in my B & W and it boots into OS X and OS 9. However, you will need Patchburn to use the Apple disc burning apps. The drive is shorter than the original CD-ROM so I needed to discard the rear metal shielding that attached original B & W CD-ROM in order to connect the cables. I got the DVR110D from Shop4tech for $42 shipped. My original idea was to put this in an external FireWire enclosure. I got a "U-Storage" drive from Computer Geeks for $29 + Ship. NO GO. The enclosure was only recognized as "FireWire 400 Device" from System Profiler under 10.3.9. I haven't contacted Computer Geeks with this problem but I suspect the enclosure is the problem. BTW I also connected enclosure/drive combo to my Sawtooth with the same "no go" result. My only advise is make sure the external enclosure/drive combo will work with your configuration.
