Getting off topic for the subject of this thread.
Every IDE/PATA CD/DVD I have ever seen uses a standard 40-pin connector with either a 40 or 80-conductor cable, and a separate 4-pin power connector, and it looks nothing like SATA. Current SATA CD/DVD drives use the same signal and power cables as SATA hard drives, although some may also have the large 4-pin power plug. Some slimline CD-ROMS use a 68-pin connector, but I am unaware of any that use the ancient 34-pin floppy connector. If you know of such a beast, a reference link would be appreciated.
