Well OLDER CD-ROM drives used to come with them because some notebooks couldn't power them (my Teac 10x did for instance even though it runs fine straight off the libby). I find it hard to understand why a Cardbus one would need an external pack though given that you'd expect only newer laptops would have Cardbus and that they'd have the appropriate power circuitry. I mean, you can draw a good few hundred mA out of the PCMCIA port of your average laptop at least (worryingly, this Teac drive recons it needs 1.5A at 5V but I doubt its really drawing that much as it doesn't seem to make much of a dent in my battery life) ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
