Has anyone any comments on possibilities for external CD-RW units for attaching to a laptop? DVD support is not needed, but if inevitable in order to have CD-RW then so be it. All I'm really interested in is writing CDs (there's already an internal CRDOM reader).
I don't really know about external USB CD-RWs but you would probably want USB 2.0 to make it burn at a reasonable speed. Anyhow, you say the laptop has an internal CD-rom drive? could you not replace it with a CD-RW drive?
I have done it before. Just need the USB mass storage and UHCI in the kernel to be enabled (All the usual modules for CD burning).
