I recently bought a Dell PD02S with a DVD-CD drive insert at a
surplus store for Real Cheap. I don't know yet if it works.  The
outer connector cable is "esatap", external SATA with 5V power.
The connector on the slide-out drive may be "slimline SATA". 

Does anyone have a card or cable that can talk to either one,
or experience with such?

I do not have the cables or cards, though I do have a standard
ESATA PCIe card for motherboards and a Cardbus ESATA card. 

I will bring the kit that I have to the Clinic Sunday, if anyone
wants to play with it.  I will be busy rebuilding laptops and
playing with the Zotac.
