I'm thinking about buying a 505TR which seems to all be supported fine apart from the cdrom drive - I read here somewhere that the optional pccard cdrom drive with a power supply was _not_ supported. This seems to be the one sony is selling right now :/ (the PAO list says the 505 origional cdrom drive is specificly not supported) Are there any of the available 3rd party (pccard) external cdrom drives that are supported (preferably one without a power supply, since I don't want to have to plug it in and I don't want yet another wall wart) ? Most of the ones on the PAO supported list I assume are ones that come with laptops, I'm looking for an aftermarket one. Anyone got one in use they'd recommend ?
