Firewire-Case - Opt.Drive compatibility?

[Stike]

Hey folks, I have a standard Firewire/IDE Case lying around here, and it already had some HDs in it, worked everything fine in OS X.2.

Now my question: I want to put in some CD-RW or Combo-Drive. I already tried some noname products, but it wasn´t very successful. Where can I find a list of compatible Drives that are actually supported over FW by OS X up to now?

I was browsing Apples pages, and tried Sherlock for the knowledgebase... nothing found. Can anyone help out?

I've been thinking about the very same thing - putting a DVD recorder in an external case to finally get DVD burning on my PBG4. The only resource I've found that mentions it was the Drive Compatibility Database (http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/drivedb/search.drivedb.lasso) at Accelerate Your Mac!

(I've got my eye on the Toshiba SDR-5002 DVD burner - it's on special at a local place near me where I happen to have a bit of store credit :))

Hmm. I think this database is nice, but I got lost in its chaos :rolleyes:
Isn´t there any official list of supported drives by Apple??

Or could I use Toast to ensure compatibilty? Is there a list? Haven´t found it...

i woudl assume if a brand works with itunes many brands on that model works with itunes ide or firewire but i'm not sure.

Thanks for all your help! I hope that I can get some drives for testing before paying a lot...:)
