The answer may never be found. For such, I fit an external USB CDRW and that works.

I have a seven year old Toshiba Satellite 4015CDT. It is not my main computer but it still runs great. I would like to upgrade the CD Rom to a CD-RW and I seem to recall that it was an option when I bought it long ago. Toshiba does not have any informaiton about upgrades aside from memory and hard drives. So after much research and nosing around I have found that the original CD rom is a Teac CD-224E and I have found a Teac CD-W-224E on Ebay. Does anyone know if they are interchangeable? Can I pop this in without any hassles?
