I had trouble getting enough sleds for my Origin 2000 and made some a few years ago. But
they're fairly easy to find at reasonable prices now, on our favourite auction site
;-)

I was never able to find drive sleds either. But I figured out that if you take a CD
jewel case, and slide it onto the rails in the computer, and put a drive on top of the
case and line it up with the backplane, it mates perfectly. You can use standard CD cases
as sleds for the top two drive connectors. For the bottom one, use a slimline jewel case
and just lay it on the bottom.
My machine has been running for years like this, with three drives.
