I'm looking for an IBM PCMCIA CD-ROM drive (model # 1969-111). Drive must include PCMCIA card and power adapter and be working.

I'm willing to pay cash or trade a pair of 810mb hard drives with 755/760 caddies (both working) or a Backpack Parallel Port CDRW drive. I also have some other Thinkpad stuff I'd be willing to trade, including a complete 755CD which won't boot but has a working 540mb HD, 4x CD-ROM, 16mb memory card and NiCD battery (which holds a charge).

PM me or e-mail damienmc@comcast.net for offers

This isn't the same thing and it's probably not bootable but I have a HP Omnibook SCSI cd drive with power cord and PCMCIA SCSI card to allow you to use the drive with the computer. I used this at one point on my older ThinkPad 760E.

I like this drive, if I can't find an IBM drive I might pick this one up.

I'd like to avoid SCSI, because I'll be using this drive in DOS and cramming all these [censored] Thinkpad drivers in 640k of memory is hard enough without another adapter, not to mention the resource conflict headaches.

Two other less significant reasons I want the IBM drive are the fact that the IBM drive has a game port, and the IBM drive actually physically matches my 760C.

hey, it says no ac adapter included. So it gets power from the laptop?

The TEAC Portable utilizes your notebook's PCMCIA or USB connectors for a clean, simple installation. The drive receives its power through this connection.

I'm sure with some googling you could make a bootable floppy disk to load the cd drive. That's how I got my Port (now belkin) pcmcia drive working.
