Yeps. Apple CD 300 is caddy-style, but with luck you could get the 300i unit, which is tray-loaded. I don't have a 600, but it will probably work faster.--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
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.

Apple makes a couple I've used. The external 300 series, a caddy-style CD ROM where your CD fits in a plastic holder which then fits in the CD ROM; and the 600 series which is a tray-loading cd machine.
Other externals can be made to work. I used FWB CD ROM Tool Kit Software which let the Mac "see" some types of CD ROMs not made by Apple. FWB will only work with up to OS 8, I think, before causing system problems.

Btw, I've also used a borrowed LaCie CD-RW (when my CD-ROM unit stopped working), and it worked fine! (But don't even think of burning CDs, even on a Quadra 800 it only works in certain special conditions, and only up to 8x!)
