You should be able to boot from an OS install CD in just about any external Apple-branded SCSI CD Drive, IIRC.

Fixed, Trash! Yes you will need an Apple-branded optical drive to boot from (so a 300e or 600e would be ideal), but with an OS loaded most generic SCSI drives will work (I recall various extensions that supported particular drives, for example CD Sunrise and Adaptec's Toast software also had better drivers).
