I am wondering if I should take a CD-R out of a "Lacie" case, (which is
SCSI) and try to put it INTO the older 8500 I have.. has anyone else
ever bothered to install SCSI-CD-R internally? if so, was it worth
it? or should I leave it external to attacth it to a 20th mac
nearby? and did anyone ever make a DVD useable the SCSI bus?

Yeah, there should be no problem installing it internally - one less box
outside the computer, less cables and stuff, but unless you can find a
second CD-ROM bezel, it will look a bit uglier. If you want the ability
to use it on different machines, though, external is the obvious choice.
It just depends on what you want to do.
Of course, if you can't find another bezel, you could just replace the
original drive with the CD writer - in my 9600, I've swapped out the
original drive for an HP SCSI CD writer, which works just fine. Faster
than the original drive too.
