PAO has support for the newer Sonys running off PCMCIA cards.  I've got
one, but have never tried it out since I haven't done any laptop code
hacking in months.  In any case, you can have an external CD-ROM if you
really want one, plus the advantage of having a way to play CD's on the
plane w/out using your laptop battery. ;)
