Well I will post since two ask.
Yes I have both a firewire 8x CD-RW and a 20G HD. Both purchased from
ClubMac. They both work fine. Only thing to be aware of is the firewire disk
cannot be a boot disk, so you can't use it as an emergency boot disk, or as
a disk to boot from to disk optimize your main drive. I made a Zip system
disk for doing that.
