somewhat off topic, really, but look at the recent (or, meanwhile, perhaps
'previous') news section at macintouch for two links describing a patch to
the apple cdrom and dvd drivers to make them work with non-apple drives.
One is at c't magazine:
http://www.heise.de/ct/english/98/26/188/
the other one improves a bit on this in that it supports both apple and non-
apple drives with the same driver, but I don't have it at hand right now.
Hope this helps,

The hack that supports both Apple and non-Apple drives is explained at :

I tried it yesterday and it works fine, even with a french version of MacOS 8.5.
Thanks,
Alex.
