I'd like to buy a combo drive for an A30p Thinkpad, either a DVD/CDRW or a DVDRW burner. Looking at the forum I'm not sure to have found any compatible one.
Any offer ?

For the A30/A31 machines you'll be looking for Ultrabay 2000 format. See this website for a compatibility matrix:

virge,
thanks for the url reference (very useful, indeed, I already had it since I tried to find out a similar one for my T42, being this one for the A30p of the daughter of a friend of mine).
Problem is that not all the people putting in selling a drive tells the interface it has. Some times they say which thinkpad it comes from, but it could have the appropiate interface or need an adapter, or be valid for a A30p provided the appropiate adapter is put in place.
This is the reason for my "not sure to have found a compatible one".
Rgds.
