Would it be possible to stack two of these in a standard optical drive bay? What kind of IDE cable would be used? It isn't a typical desk top interface is it?

No, it wouldnt be possible. They use a special small cable. I doubt you could find the adapters to make it work.

#2 what are you talking about there are 44-pin to 40-pin IDE adapters

As #3 correctly pointed out, these adapters are quite easy to locate.

You guys are thinking laptop hard drive connections. DVD drives aren't 44-pin.

Good price for a combo BDROM/DVD+RW slim drive.

Yes it is, but it is IDE. Might be nice in a nice little enclosure.

Why would you want two of them stacked? And why are we stuck at 8X burn speed for slim drives?
