IBM CD-ROM Drive

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Installation

...The Mitsumi 4802TE CD writer is a reasonable budget buy, It is quite complicated to set-up and can conflict with other devices, for example my Mitsumi CD 48x drive! I had to replace my CD ROM drive to get the writer to work, Once the drive is installed it works reliably and produces the results, It is now slow by today’s standards. The software is useless I replaced mine with Adaptec Easy CD Creator. Even though the drive works, you can still buy better for about the same money. I would not recommend this drive to anyone...

Cant We Plug More In: We sure could, the PC was equipped with 2 new... Read review

Sliding this to one side allows the display panel to hinge up to set the screen to your desired angle and to reveal the keyboard. At the front of the computer there are built in stereo speakers and some system indicators to show the status of the DC in, Power, Battery, built in Hard Disk drive and Diskette / CD ROM drive. On the left of the computer there is a security lock which I use to keep it “strapped” to my desk whilst in office. There is also a fan, power connector, power button lock, PC card slot (this can accommodate two 5mm PC cards or one 10.5mm PC card, reset switch and wireless LAN switch. On the right... Read review
