Tom | | I use the internal CDRW with my Vaio PCG-XG29.

That is strange. I definitely don't see such problems. I do such thing several times. I try to avoid booting my laptop and just suspend and resume it. So I have several cards come and go over one boot cycle. Any generic PCMCIA IDE based thing should work. I might stop using an external CDRW things once combo DVD & CDRW become more available/cheaper. Also internal bits are harder to share. Doug A.
