This is probably a pretty obvious solution, but external USB CDRW drives
work just fine with the 770 series (at least, I've used them on the 770X
and 770Z).  You're limited to about 4X writes, but it's probably better
than ruining a perfectly good 770-series CD or DVD drive trying to kludge
a cdrw internally. :)
