None. OWC sold an enabler software that Apple forced being pulled within days a while ago.

there are still some "workarounds" available, my main source for that kind of stuff is (sorry, german only)

http://heiko.wrensch.bei.t-online.de/

this guy is amazing, he has the answer to EVERY mac related problem.

on his website he has (had?) a patch for 10.2. for installing and using iDVD with an external bruner.... many times, his site is down, too much traffic (surprise )

with what computer you want to that? any chance for installing the "superdrive" at the internal IDE (i did that with a Cube! lots of dremel work ;-))?

much easier than any software "solution"!

...and yet, he (or his ISP) has on the "limit reached" page an embedded MP3 file of a song parlaying the virtues of being stoned.
