People here have recommended the Toshiba XM5201B, for about 140UKP+VAT.

* SCSI-2
* x3.4 speed.
* Proper loading tray, no caddy.
* Supports copying of audio data.

And I think..

* White book compatible (Video CD?).
* Green book compatible (CD-i?).

These drives are so popular that you will have trouble finding one as they
are in short supply apparently, I ordered mine on the 21st I think it was,
it should be here with the next week or two..

Better turn up soon, I sit here typing this on my new PC and I want to get
installing stuff like Linux and Warp ASAP.
