My ex and son have my old imac and teh disk player is acting up 
- won't play home made disks. Since she has started doing 
transcription for a living this has suddenly become a problem 
(she didn't realise about the disks...).

They are both about as technically-savvy as they were the day 
they were born [yes, such teenagers do exist!] so I'm interested 
in recommendations for easy-to-install FW external disk readers. 
Plug and play, basically. (or are they USB now? I always prefer FW).

Do these things need drivers?

It's a ball and stick iMac that's frankly on the way out so no 
point upgrading the internal. I'm arranging for them to have my 
current iMac G5 which ALSO has a flakey internal drive that only 
plays shop-bought disks (and which I've never managed to debug 
even with a clean install. That started acting up just after a year)

cheers
