[olpc-help] external CD/DVD drive ?

[Steve Holton]

Can we rule out hardware? Do other USB devices work in that USB port?  Is
there any difference if you plug the USB into another port?

Could this be a power-draw type problem? Is this a self-powered drive or
does it draw it's power from the XO?  Is the XO plugged-in?
