    I am trying to find a replacement but having no luck. I have 3 CF-52G MK2 dvd-roms but they wont work in a MK3. I searched for DV-W28S -V27 but cant find any. Any suggestion on what would work? Can I use the caddy from the MK2's with the correct dvd-rom in a MK3?

    thats exactly what I have. I guess I need the Panasonic part number to help me search better. I come up empty with the Teac model number.

    Look at the right side of the photo. Do you see the extra black "tit" sticking out?
    That is only on the SATA caddy. A CF52P requires the SATA DVD drive.

    They are very hard to find.
