The overhang is not a problem. You just trim the faceplate with a good pair of scissors. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Reid" <[email protected]>

Thanks for the reply Bruce. David Ross came closest to a good solution by
purchasing a drive enclosure from Centrex(sp). That would surely be the cost effective thing to do as their CDROM/DVD drive enclosures range from 9 to 12
bucks. But unfortunately, looks like none would work with the odd shape of
the Thinkpad/Lenovo Multi-Drive because of the odd shape (i.e. the disk over
hang accommodation on the right side of the multi-drive.)

I notice that the LG Ultra Slim external drives at Best Buy have the same
logo stamped on the back of the box, as the Thinkpad Mult-Drive

Different generations have different internal connectors. You need to look
at the connector and find a compatible interface

Greetings All,



Anyone know if/how I could mod the CD/DVD ultra bay drive from my now
deceased T60 so I could use it as an external drive with a Netbook and USB
interface?





Dave
