Can anyone recommend a good quality Erasable Optical Disk drive for the Mac?
I'm mainly interested in using it for backups of large data files, images &
such. It will probably also be used to prepare databases that will
eventually be mastered onto CD-ROM.
It should be a SCSI drive and with all the drivers/formatters necessary
to use it as a standard Macintosh disk with an HFS file system.
I'd prefer a completely packaged system, but would consider building one up
from parts as long as ALL the required software/drivers were easily available.

The most recent issue of MacWorld had a large article reviewing a number of REMO drives (Yes, I know that most people just call them REO [removeable eraseable optical] drives, but REMO [rem. eras. magneto-optical] is more accurate, and easier to pronounce) available for the Mac. As I recall, the favorite was the Pinnacle drive, but best to check the article to be sure. -mike "i'd be happy with just a syquest 45mb removable" rose
