There is not a slim IDE CD/DVD drive with ready 40pin connector for you to use...
All Slim IDE ones have the 50pin JAE connector that you need to change it with an adapter like these:
Link 1,
Link 2,
Link 3

and so on...

Just buy a drive and an adapter and you're set.

Wrong. Original XBox has a slim 40 pin IDE drive.

I guess you can get XBox's Slim then to put on the Amiga!
My mistake tbh... XBox's Slim is too common on Amiga mods :P

Yeah something like this...
It has the typical 50pin JAE and then u need the adapter I told ya :P

Btw... I'm really curious to see the Slim XBOX DVD drive...
The only ones I saw on eBay at least... was kinda un-slimish!
Link 1
Link 2
...

Edit: Also a friend of mine who's a Xbox sort-of-Guru... told me that XBOX dvd's are CUSTOM , with CUSTOM power connector that also carry serial data for eject/load/etc, and they rotate the disk in the opposite direction a normal dvd/cd drive does so there is really no comparison at all.
