Have you looked at an external firewire 400 cd/rw drive. I hacked one together with an external firewire 400 hd with a parallel connecter pata for the hd. Got a sony external cd/rw drive. connect pata cable and all was well. reading was fine. Could have had a problem with writing. not sure any more.
