can we put 9.5mm DVD-RW into the drive of CF-29?

hi bro.

as I know, we have to use DVD RW with 12.5mm thick.

however, I see that the 9.5mm DVD RW it has the same IDE port.

I wonder whether I can use the DVD-RW with size of 9.5mm (SLIM DRIVE) for my DVD drive in my CF-29..

thanks for your advice.

 

Try it and let us know1

 

Yes you can. The PATA JAE50 connector is the same for both sized drives, at the same position fom it's base. So a 9.5mm PATA optical drive works in 12.7mm PATA optical drive cavity.

 

thanks bro.

i will try one and let you know the result.

 

Hi bros.

Because I have a demand of Lightscribe function. I wonder, can I buy a HP or Toshiba DVD RW with Lightscribe function to put into my CF-29?

I look at some HP drives and see the rear connector looks quite similar with a Panasonic one. However, I am not sure about this.

So, if you experienced this, please share with me. Thank you very much.

 

For full details on this issue see: CF-27, CF-28, CF-29 CD to DVD Swap Tutorial-Lots of Pictures!

The Lightscribe drive I used is the HP UJ-851 8x DVD±RW DL Notebook IDE Drive w/LightScribe. (For reference only: Geeks is OOS)

 

thank you so much bro.

The website sold out all items.

I just ordered one UJ-851 on Ebay with $22.4.

I hope to receive it in working order as the seller stated.

I really don't want to get anything non-working again. Toughbook is so tough with me until now

 

That's what "OOS" (Out Of Stock) means.

 

I never use that word. New word.

thank you so much.
