That list of CD drives is old and no longer accurate, since MTU changed the language used to communicate with the drives. With what they were using before there had to be special code added for each drive they supported to work. Now what they use is the latest standard/universal code used by all manufacturers of drives giving us a much wider selection of drives that can work. However even with that said a lot of the internal drives for laptops just will not read CDG correctly.
It is very hard to explain, but the laptop drives just are not built with the quality, power or capabilities of the full size drive.
