What cable does this external DVD drive need?

Hello, I bought an IBM DVD drive on eBay recently which didn't come with the USB cable. It seems to have an unusual slot in the back that I don't recognize. Does anybody know what kind I need? The FRU number is 22P9165. Part number is 22P9175. TEAC MODEL DV-W22PUB. It's called "IBM 2.0 Portable Multi-Burner." Here are a few pics:

I did a little research and found you model and found a link on IBMs site to its specs here.

The manual is available as a download pdf. It should answer any questions you have.

Your model originally came with:
'Power Adapter,
Power Sharing Device,
USB and Power Cable Assembly,
and a Powered USB 2.0 Cable Assembly.'

To paraphrase, your model is designed to be 'connected to two USB 2.0 ports with included cable assemblies' or 'connected to select ThinkPads equipped with a Powered USB 2.0 Port.' Those might be what the mystery port is for.

The part numbers for the cables is listed on the site and if you don't have the needed cable, what you're looking for might be similar to those pictured here.
