Would it be possible to hook up both a slimline CDROM and harddisk to that 2.5" IDE plug?

It is not recommend to hock anything else then a 2.5" drive on this connector. No expansion as well.

The MPC5200B ATA controller conforms to the ATA-4 specification and is exposed on a right-angle (L-shape) 44-pin connector intended for direct connection of 2.5" notebook disks. Due to length restrictions and sharing of IO pins on the SoC, it is not recommended to extend the connector with cabling. DMA to the ATA controller is handled by the integrated BestComm DMA controller.
