recommend the Pioneer IDE line. A05, 06, 07 (also known as 105,106.107)
are seen as Apple super drive when used internally.So everything works
out of the box in OSX and OS 9.x . iTunes, iDVD , Apple system
profiler all see as Apple Super Drive. They are pretty much the same
drive but the A05/105 is 4x and the A06/106 adds DVD + and the A07/107
boosts the speed to DVD 8x.. A07/107 may need some extra files for
Jaguar but works out of the box with Panther.
Unfortunately, this is not completely true. At least of the A06/106 variety, some of these drives do not have the original Pioneer firmware, so Mac OS does not recognize them correctly. With the help of a PC, they can be flashed, though (that is what I did recently with one of these drives). Check out www.Xlr8yourmac.com for reports.

Nils, I just purchased the Pioneer A07/107, I'm hoping Patchburn 1.1 from OWC will help here with OS 10.2 have you seen this...
