I have had a full size cd-rom running on a laptop alongside a laptop hard-drive as master / slave. Why bother though ? you would need to put in a psu for 12 volts for the full size drive and the home-brew connector will drive you nuts when it goes wrong.
If you want to do it though , look up laptop ide pinout on google ( I cant remember where I found it now ) , take the connector off an old laptop drive and solder it to a std. ide cable. It's nearly a 1 to 1 connection from what I remember but the diffrences matter.
Good luck

PS. I think I found the pin out on a toshiba site.
PPS. If you get it wrong and blow your laptop , don't blame me.
