Where can I buy a cable that would connect my external CD-ROM drive to a USB on my Dell laptop?

I enjoy a Dell laptop (Latitude) and my problem is that the external CD-ROM has a cable that have a very different finish of the cable compared to devices. Most devices like external not easy drives have a USB end. Well, I can only connect that external cd drive to my current Latitude laptop but I can't connect it to my older laptop, also Dell, because it doesn't own the same plug. I be wondering if there is a short "connector" cable out in attendance that has one USB climax and the other would connect to my external drive. The ending from my external looks similar to 2 USB endings combined together ... the following relationship is the closest picture that I found of my drive however I couldn't find anything that would zoom in on this cable. Is in attendance someone out there who is acquainted with this problem? I would appreciate your back.

Older laptops didn't come with a firewire (1394 serial port) nouns on them, whereas the newer laptops are equiped with USB and Firewire connections-USB is the rectangular flat connector and firewire is more of a square type nouns. You should be able to buy a 1394 to USB or vise-versa at Fry's electronics, Radio Shack, CompUSA, Bestbuy, or Circuit City. USB be introduced with Windows 95-B and Firewire be introduced with XP, I believe.

if not, stop by any computer hardware shop for enquiry.
