    check out ebay? You can get the ones from Sony or Lenovo and they'll work well with the eject button, the ones from Panasonic, dell or others will require pyr0's button remapping software to use the eject button to eject

    If a Sony SA drive would be compatible I may have one to sell. I'm not sure about the button placement.

    AFAIK, ComputerCowboy mentioned somewhere that he wants to sell his original Sony BD-RE drive. You want a Matsh.ita (remove dot) UJ242 or a UJ242A (for eject button). Have a look here if you want to learn more about it.

    Just bumping this to see if anyone wants to sell yet. Or, if anyone has a good price for the official Sony drive.

    Thanks!
