Yes, I have successfully hooked up a Panasonic 2X to my Thinkpad 755CE (i
cannot imagine that things would be any different with a 750C).

After about 10 minutes of messing around with some TSRs, etc, I got the
drive's PCMCIA card working fine with the thinkpads EZPLAY (PC Card
Director) software.
The CD-ROM pcmcia card also works fine in the slots on my thinkpad port
replicator.

All in all, the Panasonic PCMCIA cd-rom co-exists just fine with the
thinkpad.  I think I remember someone else on this list reporting
essentially the same experience.
