Visit the laptops' manufacturers' sites for the specs that should indicate whether a desktop or mobile processor is used. If not there should be contact info.

IEEE 1394 is FireWire. I haven't seen a FireWire PCMCIA card. or any PC card that has ports. Try looking for a FireWire hub.

As far as I know, a DVD-R/RW drive can usually only read ordinary CDs and CD-R disks and DVD-ROM disks, but can only record to DVD-R/RW disks.

If the manufacturer's site doesn't provide the specs, which it should, look up the reviews for a particular drive by using Google.com.
