Not necessarily, as the answer actually has two parts: 1) Will the Mac see the CD-RW and 2) Can you actually use it to write to disks? Since the drive is USB 2.0, we can assume that it is a standard USB mass storage device. As a result, MacOS 8.6 and later should recognize the attached drive. The answer to the second question depends on what drive mechanism/model is actually being used. It may be directly supported or may require patched/custom drive profiles (i.e. PatchBurn under OS X). <<<john>>> -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
