Pete:
I actually used an external DVD+/-RW drive (and an external HD) connected to my laptop through a PMCMCIA USB2.0 card. As far as I could tell, no problems with byte transfer there at all, after I got it all setup. My 2.4.20 kernel liked to crash when I ejected the card, though, but I found a work-a-round.
I also just bought a motherboard with both USB2 and firewire built in. Haven't tried external devices with it in Linux yet, but I don't anticipate any problems.

I have done a bit of burning of DVD+R and +RW media for work here.
I use cdrecord-prodvd and xcdroast for the GUI.
I have successfully recorded 4.7 GB of data on +R media, but I have no experience with -R media whatsoever. We use Plextor 504A.
i've had my eye on the 708-UF. just need to get myself a USB 2.0 motherboard (if they exist yet) or a card. and check USB 2.0 status in the linux kernel.
btw, what is DVD-RAM format? seems to be distinct from DVD+/-R/RW.
