asap18 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 No not all external dvd burners are compatible, it depends on the chip used, but just ask first. I recommend this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16827129001 in this enclosure (firewire+usb2) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817145336 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37917-external-dvd-burner/#findComment-270435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 They can be recognized on the Mac, but idiots in Circuit City think you need a driver for everything. So...no Mac driver in their mind means no compatibility.
