Wow! Nice deal going on here for those of you wanting to get external. This is a kit that includes a 3.5"/5.25" Firewire external enclosure, a 48/12/48X CD-RW and a PCI Firewire card for PCs! You can just install the CD-RW in your computer and put a hard drive into the enclosure if you wanted to. Use coupon code: GOTAPEX to get 10% off. I have the same external enclosure except it`s a USB 2.0/Firewire combo unit. Same Oxford Semiconductor OXFW911-TQ-A chipset for the Firewire and it works like a charm. Just plugged it into my IEEE-1394 and it autodetected my drive with no problems. COMPGEEKS
