[ltp] NEC ND-6650

[René Castberg]

I have done something similar for my brother who was using a Toshiba
laptop. I bought a cheap compaq cd burner and took apart his old cd-rom
drive, Modded the front of the drive by trimming it abit. Unfortunaly i
found out that his laptop would only accept a cdrom drive that was in
the slave state and not in the master as this cd rom was, after
searching a bit on the net i found that i could solder 2 pins together
and thus putting it in the slave configuration.

Unfortunatly i don't have any experience with thinkpads, but though i
could give you some insight if it doesn't work first time around.
