[ltp] External drive enclosure (IDE to USB converter) - for D VD writer?

[Jericho Gutierrez]

TDK makes an external DVD writer that is USB2.0 and Firewire compatible.  I
don't own one so I can't vouch for it.  But it's not a multi-purpose
enclosure if that's what you're looking for.

Is there any way to do the same with the DVD-writer drive? 
Are there specific properties of the drive and/or the enclosure to look for
to 
make this happen?

Thanks,
