I've seen a few threads about this issue, and other people using that utility on XGA panels experienced the same. I just bought a CT65554 machine with an XGA panel, so I guess my Panasonic CF-62 will probably do the same. Problem with laptop, not with panel. VEXP utility works fine on NEC Versa …

2 weeks ago they shipped my package without any delay. You can always chose sea shipping, that's much cheaper.

That looks like a nice device, could you take pictures of the pcmcia card and the back of the unit without cables and also dump the drivers floppy? Thanks. Here it is: https://i.postimg.cc/3R83KRtj/IMG-20200316-220928.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/nz3pMJWy/IMG-20200316-221005.jpg https://archive.org/ …

Reading ability depends more from the CD-R disc itself than from the drive. Some old CD-Rom's read only Memorex and Fujifilm CD-R disks, but refuse Verbatim, TDK and other brands.
