Thank you Neil -- what make and model is your DVD-burner?

 I have a Thinkpad T43 model
    
2687-D7U. I don't know if that's a 'p' model, but it has a 1400 x 1050 display
and an IBM multi-burner.
      

It's P/N: 39T2507

  
Neil, open up RSJ's CD Writer Control and go to the System tab. You should have the hardware details listed there. Mine shows:

MATSHITA "DVD-RAM UJ-842 " RB01 "MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-842 " N/A cdatapi disabled RAW-3 MATSHITADVD-RAM_UJ-842__R

Sometimes the part number can be less than useful, as IBM (now Lenovo) substitutes different manufacturer drives/models for the same OEM number.

BTW, if your T43 were a T43p, the "p" would be appended to the model number visible on the panel under the LCD. There are subtle differences between the 43 and the 43p (a 1.6GHz CPU was available in the 43, but the slowest CPU in the 43p was a 1.86). Probably the most striking difference was that *all* 43p's supposedly came with ATI FireGL 3200 128MB video, whereas the 43'a came with either an Intel 915GM northbridge with an Intel 900 graphics chip (shared system RAM) or a 915PM northbridge and an ATI MobilityRadeon X300 chip (64MB onboard RAM), and the 43p offered an available 1600x1200 LCD. There were a few other minor differences, too (available 100GB HDD in the 43p, for example).
