I'm modding a PC motherboard into a Apple G3 case, and I
want to have an external DVD drive. Does XP have the
necessary drivers to load the setup from a DVD-ROM drive
connected by USB or Firewire? If not, is there a way I
can get it setup from these drives by downloading a
generic driver from somewhere that you know of?

Thanks in advance,

If your machine has a network card; and if it can boot from floppy,
CD, or the network (PXE); and you have another machine to serve up the
files... Then you can use a network-based install. This is probably
the easiest way to do what you are attempting.
