        The 600 uses Toshiba drives in the original ultraslimbay devices,
so that's what I used for the swap - I used a Toshiba SD-R2002 and it
was recognized and configured by Windows; any of the SD-R2*02 series
of CD-RW/DVD drives should fit and work. The R2*12 models have
slightly different dimensions.
