A PATA (EIDE) slimline laptop DVD drive is held in place using tiny 
screws that go into the back of the aluminum shield beyond the opening 
for the data connector. Anyone know the specs on the screws? Or a source?

I'm trying to mount a salvaged drive in an external case that I bought 
and put on the shelf eons ago - only to now discover that the mounting 
screws are missing.
