    If you prefer white and $21.95, www.jameco.com, Part # 1944513.  I 
would bet that all of these use the same chip and firmware, so they 
should all look the same to the operating system.

    I have not tried this one, but I was on the verge of ordering it for 
an older laptop.  I would be pleased to read your choice and results.
