I don't see the point in buying two different drives. You can get a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive for as little as $35 USD, and a DVD burner for $50. A CD-RW + DVD-ROM would cost ~$40 and you would have to mod your B&W's case.

just buy a new DVD+/-rw drive like a Pioneer, it burns allso CD-RW so no need for two drives and replace it in the B&W... I used to have a B&W and replaced the cd-rom drive with a CD-rw/DVD-rom (since DVD+/-RW drives were still to expensive at the time).

you would be able to mod the Zip-slot in the B&W it would look ugly, but it still is possible, or do it external FW you can add even more than 2 drives then

*edit*

hmm ok just buy a CD-RW/DVD-rom drive to replace your exsting drive... forget to realise you DON'T want DVD+/-RW ;-)

A external case is around 30 + around 80 for the drive....also most don't come in firewire and i don't have USB 2.0

also can this do absolutly everything i would need (burning, reading DVD, burning reading CD's): Sony Internal 16X DVD+/-RW / Double Layer Drive

please post a reply, email me or Pm me thanks!
