    Are you wanting a CD caddy w/drive or just the drive? I know you mean caddy but have to ask. I can do this.

    Couple cycles and I'll have a battery figured out. On the batteries...I run them all the way up and down for a couple of days (twice a day). Then I run "acpi" iin Ubuntu terminal...command line. What you see is what you get...no guarantees. They were used when I got them. :D Sample...Interesting Fellows battery, below.

    Xp shows larger numbers for that battery, btw. WHO CARES, I get about 3 or 4 hours of runtime on my 29, with that battery.
