Summary: EXP DVD-ROM 8X Travelerpccard Portable
Review: According to the documentation about the DVD-ROM 8X Travelerpccard Portable our laptop met all of the system requirements. After getting the DVD player installed though, we found that it would not read from commercial DVDs, but would only read DVD+R's. When we tried to watch movies with the DVD+R's, the video was too slow and skipped frames. The audio was fine, but the video made it impossible to watch without getting a headache.

We bought the DVD player solely for the purpose of watching DVD movies, it may be acceptable to read data, but as a movie player it is not usable.

Summary: Archos style DVD-rom
Review: I bought an Archos DVD rom drive (PCMCIA - 32bit pccardbus) recently explicitly for watching dvds on my laptop 566Mhz,160Mb Ram, 4Mb Graphics card. Although my laptop was far and above the specifications required and displayed on the box, the quality of the product left a lot to be desired. The sound quality was aweful! The drive would only play european dvd's. (I bought it in New York for god's sake!).

I would not reccomend that product to anyone. I'm not sure if certain companies are re-selling this product under their own badges, but for your own sanity, please contact the company directly and find out! (or look at their web-site).

Review: This drive is an excellent drive while working with IBM Laptops but choppy or unrecognized by Toshiba Laptops due to agreement issue between EXP and Toshiba so far as I contacted with EXP Technical Support and they had explained to me as I described above. In general, this unit will work well with IBM laptops and may other brands but not with Toshiba Laptop latest Models.
