The CD-ROMs from EXP Computer (http://www.expnet.com/) are nice.  I used
to own one, before temptation got the better of me and I upgraded my
notebook.  They run on power from your notebook computer (no separate
power "brick" required!), are pretty fast, and they even work with the
PC-Card drivers in Linux and FreeBSD (they appear as an IDE/ATAPI
CD-ROM).  They're available in both standard versions (CD-xxx) and
versions with integral sound cards (CDS-xxx).

** BE SURE ** to get the "E series" (CD-xxxE), if you want to be able to
use them under FreeBSD/Linux -- these are the ones that are ATAPI/IDE
compatible!
