I have used for years, not only on my old LC III (Which I currently don�t have any longer) but on my II si and II ci, an external SCSI box (Any one will do as long as you can end in the correct SCSI connector end at the mac) with a Nec MultiSpin 3x which is very old (CDs are inserted into it via a cartridge and not directly tray style), but have also tried with several other diff units, as a Ricoh MediaMaster CDR/RW I sometimes use on other equipment, and the results ahve been the same. Please notice I have been using system 7.6 on the LC III as well as the IIci/IIsiI own a LCIII with an external Apple 2x SCSI CD-ROM. The unit uses old cartdriges to insert the CD-ROM. When the one that I had simply blew up, I searched eBay and I got an unit (with the same characteristics) for $5. But I don't recommend that! I live in Portugal, and I paid 10 times more ($50) for shipping! And I was lucky, because it passed customs! Search on eBay for drives in UK (besides USA and Canada, that's the country that has more products for sale), and good luck!
My humble 2 cents.

I'm curious about finding a CD drive to use with an LCIII that I have - I assume
it will be of the external SCSI variety. Can anyone point me in the direction of
one? Bear in mind that I live in the UK.
