No, OWC has third-party drive upgrades, and your Ti will boot fine with 
those drives by holding down the C key during powerup.  My wife has a 
Ti-400, bumped to 500 MHz by changing a jumper on the logic board, with 
an OWC Mercury Ti-SuperDrive in it.  It boots fine from the optical 
drive, and even burns DVD-R's with iDVD (takes awhile to render 
though).  It's fully supported by all Apple software/hardware.
