    Yes, you can get external enclosures for them and then they connect via USB!

    :)

    Google for them.

    need to use a 5.25" drive enclosure that connects to your laptop either with usb2 or firewire. as dvd burner is usually ide interface than make certain the enclosure is ide inside. also comes with external power adapter.
