an external dvd burner that would have a firewire connection. another option would be a card that would have some usb connectors on it. usb 2.0 is just as good if not better than usb 2.0, last time i checked. some other good things to look for a double layer, the media is quite expensive now, but it is dropping. and dual format as well.

good luck!

They should have USB 2 cards that will go into the card slot on most notebooks.

The top 2 choices in burners would be Plextor and then Pioneer. You can't go wrong with either.
