So i just ordered the sony PCG-U3 subnotebook, but they were asking way too much for their firewire drives so I opted to get a drive from somewhere else. all i need is a firewire cd-rom. A cdrw would be nice but is unnecessary. I just want to be able to load new software on it. Can someone direct me to a place that sells this stuff for a decent price? thanks.

EDIT: a 4 pin IEEE 1394 connection is what I'm looking for. . . .


Also a firewire external enclosure for harddrives would be nice too.
 
look on newegg.com under their generic external enclosures or search for bytecc external enclosures on dealsonic.com they're the same thing (same box, same oxford 911a chipset), but dealsonic is sometimes cheaper.

I have one for my harddrive and it's blazing. It's capped at 34 mb/s =( but it doesn't utilize any more cycles than the ide bus(!) . if you get one with a fan i'd recommend either pulling the fan out or swapping the fan 'cause that little thing is friggin noisy.
