Run OS X, Tiger should work.
Connect an external drive.- link to Laci clearnce corner.
That's it.

Anybody can correct me if I am wrong.

Older QPS Que drives also work, and are USB- slow but ok for CDs. Not all have drivers for OS 10.4. For DVD/combo your limited to FW400 for through put.

As for upgrade, try This Old Mac
