Want to upgrade Thinkpad / Lenovo T60 optical drive to DVDRW

I wanted to upgrade the optical drive in my Thinkpad T60 laptop to a DVD-RW drive from a CDRW/DVD-ROM. I found that the model number for the drive I need is either a PCC (UJ-842) or HLDS (GSA-4083N) from the Lenovo support page (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 62741.html).
What is the best place to find these drives and can I get any drive that is labeled with one of those model numbers?
I saw a few different possibilities for the UJ-842 on ebay but some do not mention the laptops they are compatible for. Would I be able to use this for instance, on my T60? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... &rd=1&rd=1
It is a UJ-842 but says its an HP Panasonic...so I'm not sure.
Also, what are the FRU numbers? I see a few different FRU numbers that all seem to be for this same drive. I'm not sure which one would be best compatible.
