Has anyone found an external CDROM that can work efficiently or AT ALL just being powered off of the V90 USB?
There is a Targus CD/DVD combo that uses a cable w/ two usb plugs to pull enough power, but at $160 it seems a little spendy for an external CDROM.
I know of one modell by LG that works fine. I think it is the GP08LU10.

I don’t know if the V90 will put out enough current, but I recently put together a slim external combo drive for my EeePC. ComputerGeeks.com has slim combo drives for $25, and the external USB slipcase for $17 – a whole lot less than $160! All you do is slide the drive into the case and secure it with two small screws.
Another hint – if the V90 can’t put out enough current for the optical drive, try using a powered USB hub in between.
Targus Slimline DVD/CD-ROM
Mfg. Part: PADVD010U
$139.00 from CDW.
I have these setup on V90L terminals, with 1 plug directly into the rear USB port onthe terminal and the other plugged into a 4 port usb hub (unpowered). This leaves the front USB port open. Haven’t had any issues with power. These things are great!
