Roland,

The Pioneer 110D is an internal DVD player. It is very easy to
install. A novice should take little more than 15 minutes to install
one. Because you are using OS-X.3 you will need a small program called
Patchburn 3. You can find this program via the Accelerate your
Macintosh! News Page

 http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/

With Patchburn installed, all your Apple apps related to your
player/recorder will be recognised.

If you were using Tiger this Pioneer drive is now supported and
therefore there would be no need for Patchburn.

External drives seem to have a history of having various challenges in
relation to OS-X. The above web page has a section of their site
devoted to DVD player compatibility with lots of linked info. A bit of
reading should help answer all your questions.

Possibly there are others on this list with more ideas to help you.

Good luck,

Bill
