"...I'm interested in buying Panasonic's 2X PCMCIA
CD-ROM drive for my Thinkpad 701C. Anybody
out there have one for sale? Audio CD's can
be played with this too, right? Does it
run off of batteries, AC adaptor, and PCMCIA
power?..."

i have one of these. it comes with an ac adapter, but will also run on 6 AA
batteries. i've never run it on batteries, so i don't know how long they
last. it will play audio cd's through a stereo headphone jack with volume
control. there is no auxiliary out, so the only way to play audio cd's through
the laptop is to run an extra cable from the headphone jack on the drive to the
mic input on the thinkpad, which isn't pretty, but it works.
