I found an old Internal CD Rom for an older Dell Laptop. Rather than just sell it, or trash it I was wondering if there was an interface that would let me use it as an external drive. The drive is a 2001 UJDA330 CD-R/RW Drive DC5V Kyushu Matsushita. It has a 40 Pin male interface - See Picture. Evidently it transfers data and gets power through the 40 pin interface - Similar to the old Sun Computers design. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are talking of converting internal Optical drive(usually found in laptops) to an external one, then yes it can be done. There are a number of enclosures available for that.
