Dan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asks about something about which I happen to know something: >I cannot seem to find an MCE CD-RW expansion bay drive anywhere for my >Wallstreet now a days. They don't make them, and nobody carries them. >Anyone know where I might be able to find one? Just keep yer eBay eyes open and one will come along eventually. Be aware these rarities command quite a premium, IIRC the last MCE combo for WS I noticed went for something over US$300.
then with great hope Dan P asks: >Even more likely, has anyone ever made their own device - by buying a >drive from the Manufacturer and putting into an unused CD-ROM expansion >bay cage? Nope, not unless you are up to fabricating your own interface PCB or adapter. Unlike PBs 1400, Lombard and Pismo, the WS serie original optical drives cannot be easily adapted to 'standard' slim/laptop optical drives. For more infos, see my page here: <http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/ebms.html> Sadly, the lack of EBM upgradability is a major incentive to dump your WS and move up to Lombard or Pismo.
