Ok. It said 250 in the original e-mail, but Ok. I think the Sonnet lowers the bus speed to 66 MHz. But they did have DVD players on 66 Mhz notebooks (early iBooks), so go for it. I would recommend a CardBus DVD drive. It would be bus powered (less cables) and probably a bit faster. Check

Thomas, I believe the enclosure you're talking about is the Coolmax model HD-227-U (www.coolmaxusa.com); the more recent version, HD-227-U2, is currently for sale by Newegg.com, for $39. Newegg also sells the similar firewire version, HD-227-FW, for $41. I had considered these products, but
