Whatever you end up doing, I'd avoid the addonics cd-rom drive.  It is cheaper, and 
has an ok design, but it seemed very cheap to me.  I originally bought an addonics 
drive, and the main reason I bought it is because it was cheap.  However, it was very 
noisy, and also the slightest shock to it, or moving it at all, caused the cd inside 
to become lose.  I rerturned it and bought the Port 24x cd-rom (which toshiba 
recommends for the portege)....it was more expensive (almost twice as much), but it 
was an even sleeker design and was much sturdier.....it had a sturdier feel to it, was 
quieter, and no amount of shaking, etc. caused the cd to become unseated.

I haven't had much luck getting any of my Windows only PC Card devices (cd-rom drive, 
zip drive, etc.) to work with my PowerBook.
