Experience with EXP CD-ROM drive?

[krosen@ix.netcom.com (Kenneth Rosenblatt)]

Hello:

I'm contemplating buying a 4x PCMCIA CD-ROM drive to use with my 
Thinkpad 560.  I'm considering buying a unit made by EXP that sells for 
$160, compared with $299 for units from Sony (a 6x) and Panasonic (4x).

One difference is that the EXP unit weighs 3 lbs, but I'm not planning 
on moving it, anyway; I just want something faster than a parallel port 
model.  

Has anyone had experience with this unit?  EXP claims that it is 
compatible--is anybody using it with a 560?  Am I better off spending 
the extra $140 to buy the Sony or Panasonic?

Thanks.
