Qwoody:

The common name for that type is "Slot drives". Pioneer has a DVD Slot Drive (also plays CDs) DVD120S available from Newegg for $41:

That is the only one I can easily find. Although, I have one of these type drives (DVD-106S) I have aways been a little cautious about using it.

My concern is this. There is a slotted rubber gasket covering the opening to prevent dust from getting into the drive. I suspect if a piece of dirt, sand, or some other hard, granular substance got stuck to the lower "lip" of the gasket, that it might scratch the surface of the CD/DVD as it is inserted, or ejected.
