Natively Supported Optical Drives
in Mac OS X 10.3.9

Finding Supported Drives:
While Apple doesn't provide an official list, the information can be extracted from system files. Panther includes a built-in list of supported optical drives. Here's how to find it:
Disclaimer: This process involves navigating system folders. Modifying these files can cause unexpected behavior. Proceed with caution and consider backing up your data beforehand.
Locate the File:
Open Finder.
Navigate to
/System/Library/Frameworks/DiscRecording.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/DiscRecordingEngine.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DeviceSupport.drprofile.
Understanding the File:
This file contains codes that identify supported optical drives. Unfortunately, deciphering these codes requires technical knowledge.
Alternative Approach:
Instead of manually interpreting the file, you can search online resources like forums or communities dedicated to vintage Apple hardware. The community may have information about compatible drives for Panther.
