Hi:

Yes, it's a USB drive.  If I can get it on a iBook and link them 
together with my FireWire cable, can I do it.  I'll just have to make 
sure that the Mac with the Combo drive is set up as the target drive.  
Anyone, please let me know if I am correct.  As a side note, could I 
have used an external FireWire DVD-ROM?

Thanks,
DMJH
