eBay worked for me. I recently bought a couple of Apple 600e external
CD-ROM drives. One of them was still new in the box. The advantage of
staying with Apple drives is that you won't need any additional CD-ROM
driver software and they can easly be used as a boot drive. They are only
quad speed, but should work just fine for updating software. Cost was about
30-40 bucks. You can also find some 8x up through 24x drives as well. Just
depends on how much $ you want to spend.
Hope this helps,
Steve
