"...I'm interested in buying Panasonic's 2X PCMCIA CD-ROM drive for my Thinkpad 701C. Anybody out there have one for sale? Audio CD's can be played with this too, right? Does it run off of batteries, AC adaptor, and PCMCIA power?..." ~~~~~ i have one of these. it comes with an ac adapter, but will also run on 6 AA batteries. i've never run it on batteries, so i don't know how long they last. it will play audio cd's through a stereo headphone jack with volume control. there is no auxiliary out, so the only way to play audio cd's through the laptop is to run an extra cable from the headphone jack on the drive to the mic input on the thinkpad, which isn't pretty, but it works.
