This reminds me of something I was going to ask a few weeks back - Does anybody 
know the best setup for  an external multizone DVD player for a macbook pro and 
mac book air setup?

I've recently acquired a reasonably large DVD collection from someone who's 
upgraded to BlueRay but a  number of them are zone 1 or 2. My macbook is saying 
there are only 3 zone changes left and not really wanting to flash the bios on 
this (or even sure if it is possible).

If the external ones are multi zone or have unlimited zone changes that would 
be great but if the prices are low enough I wouldn't mind getting one each for 
zone 1 and 2.

thanks

The following web pages give some idea of the cost of adding an external 
optical drive to the new MacMini.

For an external, bus powered, optical drive enclosure

For the actual drive <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/UJ867A/>

Note prices are in US$. You need to add postage of about US$ 10. No Australian 
duty payable if total order is under AU$ 1000

I suspect that these items will become difficult to source over the next few 
months.

Check with Daniel Kerr if he can supply these items locally.
