I don't know about that particular model, but I have an LG 5163 external DVD drive that works perfectly with my Mac. I'd suggest you contact LG - they'll respond and let you know if it's compatible with a Mac. Send them an emai:
Is that the Lightscribe, one? I have one that says it's the GSA-E10L on the bottom, and it works. I had to use Patchburn to get it to work natively, but it burns just great now.
