Elio, I wish I had an absolute answer for you, But as I am sitting here I
reviewing the instructions for installing my brand new LaCie CD-RW unit and it
IS a USB driven unit, and therin lies all my difficulties.  Mostly my problems
since I have not ever dealt with USB before and I don't feel comfortable with
it yet - I suppose that I should just plug it in and go.  The first thing I
tried with the USB port was to use it via a converter hub (an entrega
hub2U1S1P) to drive my HP 722C printer, and I haven't  been able to get it to
work, so I am still unsure of myself.

Anyway, the LaCie is model "2X2X6X CD-RW DRIVE USB EXT K525" per my Packing
slip from LaCie.  Their address is:
LaCie
22985 NW Evergreen Parkway
Hillsboro, OR 97124, USA
