Check out Bits Computer Graphics (www.bits.com.au) in Surry Hills, Sydney. They do mail order.
I Purchased an External ard Drive case with both USB 1.1 and Firewire connectors. Have the USB working under Mandrake 8.1 by following instructions in Mandrake User Org docs (www.mandrakeuser.org). It works 100% and Firewire is great for video editing under Windoze (sorry to admit that but I still consider myself a Linux newbie). Bits probably have USB 2.0 based external devices by now. They do have external CDRWs with choice of interface. Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
