looks like an OEM drive, in a custom chassis.

is definitely a custom job. I'll see if I can dig up a camera tomorrow
for some pictures... And I'll see if I have time today to crack it
open...

Well, the whole thing itself is about 4"Hx7"Wx13"D... Across the top of
the face is the headphone jack, volume knob, 7 buttons in a row (for
each disc) then the status light. Below that is the tray to load the
discs. And the tray is wider than your standard CD tray... With this
faceplate on it, my only choice is to keep it as an external drive.
That drive sounds very similar in design to the NEC drives I have. I have
to wonder if it isn't a rebadged or OEM drive? Does it use a regular
external SCSI drive chassis, or is it a custom case? The NEC and Pioneer
changers I have are all custom cases.
