Is there anyway to get a laptop bay drive, i.e DVDR to work with a normal ATX mobo? i know ITX mobo's support this feature but i wonder if there is a way for ATX mobo's?

Anyone shed any light?

you can get adaptors for laptop hard drives to std ide, maybe one of these may work. But I think to change most laptop drives between master and slaves need special software as they don't have jumpers.
