well maybe but it involves tearing them both apart

as far as i recall both use normal eide cables and you could use an extended cable if the eide cable of the slot loader isnt propriety which i think it is not sure

why not hook up an external usb cd driver ? thats a lot easier

I don't have a USB CD-ROM. I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible.

I don't mind tearing them apart. I've had to take the 500 apart a few times to take out the dead CD-ROM. It was a pain in the butt...

Do you happen to know if the 333s have the slim notebook-style ide drives that lack the molex connector? That is what was in the 500.
