I purchased this drive to replace a dead CD drive on my 4(+) year old Sony Vaio system.

Teac DV 516E Internal

$55.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
Vista told me that the driver on the disc is provided by Toshiba, not D-Link, and Vista will not let it be installed.
from www.amazon.com
The adaptor finally worked after about 45 minutes of downloading current drivers etc.
from www.amazon.com
I use a Mac and had not one problem with the product.
from www.amazon.com
The problem is that the DLink has to work with USB 2.0 and if your Mac has usb 2.0, it probably has the built-in bluetooth already.
from www.amazon.com
I purchased this product a couple weeks ago, and it was so easy to set up.
