External USB CD/DVD that works with Amiga OS 4.1FE

[amigasociety]

I own an X5000 and the case I now have has no 5.25" bays.  Looking for an external solution  for reading and writing to CD/DVDs.  Mostly just to rip MP3s from my CD collection.

Anyone successfully using an external USB CD/DVD drive with their AMiga OS 4.1 system?  I have an X5K but guessing if you don't, but at least run AMiga OS 4.1FE, if it works for you via USB it should for me too.

Let me know make and model please if you have one that works.

Thanks

Since I have tried 3 different brands.. is there something special one has to do, driver wise, to allow a USB CD/DVD to work under Amiga OS?

Maybe that is where my problem is. Maybe I need to put some special driver in Dev directory?

Hello, just built an X5000 system tonight, with the sale Amiga On The Lake is having.  

I am having good luck so far with this Asus external USB drive:

Thank you.  I have a LG DVD arriving tomorrow that two others at the Hyperion Forum said worked for them.  I hope it works for me too.
