T40 dvd-rw

[petesamprs]

Where would you guys recommend I get a DVD-rw drive for my t40. I didn't see it as an option when I purchased it last month, but wanted to see if any manufacturer made one for the ultra slim bay on the thinkpad (where my cd-rw/dvd drive currently is).

thanks.

also, i thought the ATI Mobility RADEON 7500 (graphics card on my T40) would have a tv out. am i missing something? (besides the tv out)

it should have a svideo out

Hmm...I thought that round port was for a mouse. Regardless, I know my tv doesn't have svideo inputs (just the inputs for red/yellow/white wires). Is there a converter/adapter I could get so that I can display my laptop onto my tv? Apologies for the ignorance.

if you pay certain amount of money you will get to a better access at Anandtech like no advertising etc
