Why not just use a Y-splitter on the HDD power cable? The PSU will
handle it, I've done it many times in the past on the Deskpro EN SFF's

So, I've got myself a P3 600 DeskPro EN SFF.
Problem is, there is only one HDD power connector, and, guess what, it
is connected to the HDD. I tried to do a floppy boot (SUSE 9.1), but
no go.
Is it electrically sensible to connect a CD drive to the DeskPro,
where the CD drive is powered by another computer's power supply?
Or will I risk the magic smoke escaping from various parts?
Cheers,
Carl.
