i ended up buying a DVD/CDRW slot loader off of mini-itx.com they've got a good range, plus the right adapters.
as i run a BPPC in my A1200 desktop, i bought a NanoATX PSU from them as well, plus a D-box ATX to AT adapter, snipped the AT cables to goto the power socket, and clipped the drive leads to goto three floppy plugs, one for extra power to the mainboard, one for the DVD, and one for the floppy. so its all inside the case.
one day i may even put the lid back on! :lol:
i just need some good ideas for PPC cooling...
