I bought a Kanguru drive that was advertised as having Mac compatibility. It is only compatible after you call and find out you have to use the Dragon Burner software. The software didn't come with the drive and it is being sent. The drive won't work with iTunes or Apple's Disk Copy utility. I downloaded the demo version of the Dragon Burner software and found that the CD-RW was actually an Artec WRR-52 drive. www.artecusa.com Looking at the manufacturers website I don't see that they make a firewire drive. Now I'm thinking I have an EIDE drive in a firewire oxford-bridge box. Its pretty speedy, and only cost me $115.00, so far. If the software that is being sent is only the demo version then I'll have to pay $49.00 for the full version. So that's about $164.00 for this cheapo drive. I finally found the compatibility chart on the apple site. Most of these drives seem like eide drives going through an oxford bridge. I'm guessing because of the lack of specificity on the spec sheets. But at least I wouldn't have to buy more software. www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/storage.html Here are my questions: What is this difference? I know that ide transfers data at 7800 KB/S and firewire moves it at 400 mbs. What I want to know is, How much more will I pay for a true Firewire CD-RW? Is there such a thing? Who makes them?
