DEC newbie (was need caddy for RRD-42DA CD-ROM drive)

15 Apr 2003

...
   Just checking
since I've seen others slip before ...

 The RRD42 takes the standard "flip-top" caddy that
 must have been made in their millions.  
 Well, that's a relief.  Can you point me to a source for these common caddies?

Try places that carry old PC junk.  This type of CD-ROM was used primarily in
1-4x CD-ROM's that were seen in PC's (the fastest I've seen is an 8x that I
put in my PDP-11/73).  Of course you can also find this style CD-ROM in DEC,
Sun, and probably other manufacturer's equipment (I think Apple had one
drive of this style).

Actually your best place to look might be eBay, I'd imagine they're pretty
easy to find there.

Just be glad you don't have one of the drives that use the 'pincer' caddies!
