Not just *any* 'ol one, but if you go to Apple's iTunes page you'll see a liust of supported mechanisms there. Also <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com> has a lot of info on compatible drives. I have a Cendyne 48-12-48 CDRW in my system (a Lite-On mechanism) that works fine. The trouble, sometimes, is identitfying the mechanism. That mine is a Lite-on is only visible if I plug it in and see what's in the ROM on the drive; the thing has a Cendyne label on it. Mine works fine, boots, burns (quite fast), reads (quite fast, and noisily, I might add...all the newer high speed CD drives are noiser than heck.) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
