Hello, If you have any unused 9.5mm-high PATA or SATA optical disc drives for ThinkPad device bays, you can find USB 2.0 enclosures for them on eBay starting at around $15.00USD or so. I put the DVD multi-drive from my T61p into one after I installed a second disk drive into the UltraBay. Everything seems to work fine and I have a "genuine ThinkPad" external CD-RW/DVD±RW external optical drive for use with my T61p.
