Any CD-R drive fitted with a SCSI port should work with either a Mac or
a PC, provided that the PC is fitted with a SCSI port (or could have one
fitted). You will need to check that you get cables for both machines
(they're probably different), and that there is driver software
available for both platforms. A dealer who sells both PCs and Macs might
be the best place to call - Dabs Direct (<http://www.dabs.com/>) come to
mind, but are no doubt others.
