Are there any other full size Slot Loading drives other than the one made by plextor? Or is there a way to fit a laptop slot load drive into a normal size bay?
 
dunno about doing it yourself. But one of those Multi-Drive duplication companies made a single bay / dual (laptop) drive reader/burner combo bout a year or so ago. Sorry ... that's all that comes to mind
 
With the proper adapter, you can take most any lappy drive and have it work on a regular IDE channel.

To fab the drive bay, that takes a little bit of work, there are pre-fab'd bays, but I cannot find the links.
 
There was another thread asking about this a while back, but there are adapters for laptop slot-loading drives to stick them into a 5.25" bay.
 
here ya go.. it's cheap too.. and burns dvd's. You might even be able to remove it from the external case... but I like externals..

the only reason i didnt get the pioneer one was that it isn't black, as stupid as that sounds.

it looks like i'm saving up for the plextor one....
 
NEC used to make a 4 disc slot loader for the PC. I went through two of them before I wised up and threw it in the garbage. Oh, and I had to take it apart to get a disc stuck inside out before I threw it out.
