Thinkpad 570E: upgrade with DVD+RW?

Thinkpad 570E: upgrade with DVD+RW?: Posted by Jonathan Nitschke on December 3rd, 2003; Hello all,

I am the proud owner of an archaic thinkpad 570e, which I have
upgraded in almost every possible respect, save one: the ultrabase DVD
drive is still the old Toshiba SD-C2102, circa '99 or so. Has anyone
succeeded in upgrading an ultrabase drive (or a TP 600 series ultrabay
drive) to a DVD+RW device? Are these pretty much standard, i.e. after
swapping the rails and the adaptor that fits on the end, will any slim
notebook CD/DVD drive become an ultrabase device? The one I would
really like is the Panasonic UJ-815B, the one that comes with the new
powerbooks.

Thanks,

(at the back of the drive) in the same position as on the 600 drive.

for a 600X and it worked fine.
