Chris Go with a new Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-111D "SuperDrive" - it's understood by OS X "Panther" with the aid of "PatchBurn" (free) and is built into OS X "Tiger" from the get go. Plus it generally runs for under $50.00 New most anywhere - bottom line it's a great deal! I just upgreated so if you must have a cd drive I've got one I going to have to sale soon so let me know. rich =========================================== --- Chris <krispy_39 at yahoo.com> wrote: > Thanks for the instructions.
