I guess the issue would just be finding the driver then, since I doubt they work with the generic "Apple DVD-ROM" extension from Mac OS 8.1.

Were there ever any 68k Macs that had SCSI DVD-ROMs in them, or sold as an accessory? Seems like sticking one of those in an external SCSI enclosure would be my best bet.

Anyone know who made most of DVD-ROMs used in Apple systems? Figure that would be the brand most likely to be recognized by the Apple DVD-ROM extension.
