I've had very good luck with the nice cheap LiteOn CDRW drives. They seem to be recognized by OS X without any changes. You can get them from Other World Computing (www.macsales.com) for as low as $29 (this is for the OEM version, which best of what I can tell differs from the $35 retail version only in that it is missing the box). I have one of them in a firewire case (bought as a unit from Other World Computing), but I also have a number of the drives in other machines as they have proven to be very reliable fast drives (52x24x52). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
