ok, If you read my other thread I was bitching about a QUE USB CDRW... lets face it the USB 1.1 interface just sucks for CD burning...

I want to get a Firewire burning enclosure for my burner...

I also want to throw an old IDE drive in my USB Que enclosure...

so.. does anybody know what I need to do?

hardware to buy? suggestions?
what software I may nee to get this thing to work?

it's going to be a fun project...

Look for an IDE (a.k.a. ATAPI) firewire enclosure. I've heard good things about the Other World Computing and Clubmac firewire cases, at least for hard drives. Your best bet is to check out http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/firewire.html for more info.

FYI, I bought a Plextor 16/10/40A CDRW mechanism and installed it into a firewire enclosure from newegg. I'll post my comments when I get my new G4 and start using it.
