Will just about any external dvd drive work with a ibook. I ask this question because I have a sony 510ul that I purchased reasonable to use with it but when I hook it up to the ibook it will not reconize it but it will work on my powerbook. Any ideas? I have it hook up via firewire too.
Are both machines running the same OSX version? You may need to install Patchburn in your iBook to get the external drive working: http://www.patchburn.de/
