I use Discribe occasionally - version 4.5 or earlier will make a
custom bootable disk for OS9 or earlier - even a system disk - only
burner software I know which will and very handy to have if your 9.1
installer gets fatally scratched - a feature missing on later versions.
Also has it's own cd reader extension which will work with most scsi and
ide drives - bit of a naff disk icon but you can't have everything. I
also have NeroMax for Macintosh but rarely used it.
For simple pc cd/dvd rom drives the hacked apple extension works
very well - for cdrw it's best to stick with the pc drives which are
supported by Apple or the Patchburn utility for OSX - NEC and a few other
pc drives are unsupported and can be a hassle.
I have two Sony ide CRX 160's and an ide 140 which work fine in my
G4 AGP and a Yamaha scsi 2100s which works fine in my 8600 - I also have
a Pioneer 106s cd/dvd ide slot loader I've yet to try in the G4 but I
don't expect any problems with it apart from the bezel.
