    Panasonic CF-VDRRT3U works pretty good. but not a DVD-R just DVD-ROM ( came with my CF-29 but lives in my kit )

    other alternative is Samsung SE-T084M/RSWD

    These are the only 2 I have used sofar.

    Hmmm. Travel pouch too, nice touch. I think I'll hunt for one of those.

    Thanks

    Just one thing occurred to me before ordering it - I've found a seller -, it will boot (on a hub), won't it?
