Is there an external dvd-r that will work for the new imac?

Hi Josh1234,

The new iMac, like most current Macintosh systems, offers FireWire
(IEEE 1394) connectors to allow you to plug in any device that
supports the FireWire protocol. Thus, the question becomes "is there
an external dvd-r that supports FireWire connectivity which will work
for the new imac?"  The answer is yes.

LaCie - an established hardware player whom I have personally
purchased from in the past and have been very happy with their
products - offers a combined DVD-R, DVD-RW and CD-RW (rewriteable)
unit that is compatible with the iMac, because it offers built-in
FireWire support. You can read over the specifications of the product
offered by LaCie here:
