I need recommendations for an emac 1.42 and ibook 1.33, OS 10.3 - 10.5 compatible external superdrive ?
eMac 1.42, Mac OS X (10.4.11), iBook g4 1.33 10.3.9
Just about any USB or FireWire external CD/DVD drive will work with your Macs.
The exception is Apple's new offering of a separate external optical drive. These will only work with newer, Intel Macs.
If you need the drive to be able to boot those Macs, you'll need FireWire connectivity. If you ned to use a system optical disk to upgrade or re-install the OS. or repair your hard drive, you must boot from the optical drive. If either computer's built-in optical drive has failed, or does not support reading DVDs, you'l need to boot from an external sooner or later.
If all you need is a burner, then USB opticals are cheaper and should work fine.
This firm tests all their stuff for Mac compatibility:
