Re: [Thinkpad] Where to find a dual-layer DVD+/-RW drive for T40?

I don't know why you are concerned with a dual layer drive. There is no media, and none is on the immediate horizon. So why bother (yes, you can buy blanks for $10.00 each. As I said, there is no media)

  IBM does not offer this. Does one exist that's a
  direct fit? 2nd option: I recall someone on this list
  adapting a brand x optical drive to a thinkpad, and
  that some details must be just right or the machine is
  damaged. Can't find that thread now.
  Anyone familiar with this issue?

  Slim dual-layer drives exist - Liteon sells one, but
  it's unsupported, as noted on their site.
  "DVD-RW Drive SOSW-852S
  NOTE: This is a system integrator product. Due to
  compatibility concerns, which may cause drive failure,
  we are not able to provide any firmware upgrade for
  this product. For technical support, kindly contact
  your vendor."

  thanks

  thanks
