Yeah, but it is really hard to find atapi style laptop drives, everything has gone to sata.
Try the older latops, you might even pick up a bare drive on ebay.
I haven't tried it with a cd/dvd drive, but you can get inexpensive USB cables with combo adapters for IDE (both full and laptop size) and sata with corresponding power connectors that are very handy to have around for temporary hookups.
It is a same thing. They are basically HDD PATA and/or SATA controllers with USB connection to PC. I have even hooked up IDE DOM modules (without the actual cable).
