I have a ton of external SCSI devices for my old macs but never had anything firewire. So browsing ebay at 4am I won a couple firewire burners, a beige cdrw and grey or blue (hard to tell) dvdrw that looks like it was made to blend in with G3/G4 towers.

Some tech doesn't look interesting to me unless it is obsolete. Gives me something to use on the G3 towers I have plus I have a SCSI to firewire external converter (no idea if that works on a mac) and a carbus firewire card for old laptops. Come to think of it I was late to USB thumbdrives as well.
