Look in the 'Drive Compatibility Database' at <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com> and see which drive suits your machine best. I have just fitted an LG GCC-4120B Combo drive to my G3/400 and it boots CDs, burns in iTunes, Finder, Disk Copy and Toast 5.1.4. I have yet to test the DVD playback in OS X 10.2.1 as I haven't got the DVDs I ordered from Amazon yet (grrrr...) to try it.
