No, as I mentioned in private email to Michael I have a GW2K Solo with
the 2X drive and it works fine. This is the drive that slides in under
the keyboard (this is the one you swap with the removeable floppy
drive). I've also tried the newer (by a couple of months) 4X drive
with no problems.

Mine claims its a Matsushita UJDCD2720 (sticker on the drive itself).

>From an ATAPI point of view its well behaved, I didn't have to add any
special case code to deal with it.
