I've been checking external USB and Firewire (both) enclosures for a device I could use with both PCs and Macs at work.
I have a Motherboard revision2 B/W G3-400, 512MB RAM, OS 10.2.6, Firewire, and USB 1.1 connections. The question is: what is my limiting factor in selecting a device to be housed in this unit insofar as the Mac is concerned? The enclosure uses the Oxford-911 chipset for Firewire (which I hear is good, for use with Macs). Is finding a CDRW with software that supports Mac the only limitation? Or are there also hardware incompatibilities to worry about? If the latter, is there a particular chipset in the CDRW drives I should look for (or look to avoid)? If not, is there some nice list on some nice website showing which third-party (non-Apple) drives play nice with Jaguar? So as to pass along my good deal -- $49 (USB 2.0 / Firewire-400 drive enclosure): http://www.dealsonic.com/bymecoidetof.html?AID=8256927&PID=552179 With appreciation, Dave -- ...........................................................................
