So as the title suggests, I'm looking for a slim cd-drive with a 40 Pin IDE connector. If someone here has installed one succesfully to a1200, please point out what drive you are using. And the reason for this post is that I could not find any Slim ones with IDE 40 pin connector, only ones with SATA etc...
Are you looking to install it inside the A1200 by moding the case? If so, a slimline laptop CDROM with ATAPI JAE connector adapter as mentioned would be the thing to use. They are powered through the same connector.
