[CUBE] OT: external FireWire CD-R / DVD-R

[Andre Hogie]

Firstly, I dont think any jumper sttings will afect
the drive s it is seen as  generic firewire device.
There are several pieces of software that I know of -
DVD Studio Pro
Sizzle
LaCie CatyDVD

All these are designed for external burning of DVDs
and in the case of LaCie they use a Pioneer DVD drive.

I dont know how you are going to get the last one as
it is not downloadable, as the others are on
versiontracker.com
