I have a Dell Latitude CSx which has an external port for plugging in an ATAPI CDROM drive. I have been playing with fire by attaching and unattaching the drive while powered but (usually!) not active. It hasn't failed yet, but I won't be surprised if I fry something at some point. (On one occasion there was a loose connection to the drive which caused the BIOS to think it was a password-protected HDD...)
