    Does the HEL81 require a special optic drive? I bought it as a barebone and I'm not sure what I need for a DVD drive. I know some Toshibas need a drive with different firmware. I'm hesitant in paying out US$150 for a dual layer burner and not knowing if it will work when I get it. I contacted several sellers on eBay and they can't or won't say for sure if their burner will work in a Compal. This is my first experience with a Compal. Thank you for your patience and any help.
