*googles*. Ah. I've never seen an RRD50 in that case! I must've been
thinking of the RRD40 since the next one up was the dual-speed RRD42
which also used a caddy but was less proprietary as the drive itself
(Toshiba?) was also used in the Apple 300i, NeXT and even the Amiga
CD32. The RRD43 (also used by SUN) spat the tray AND mechanism at you
and then we got speedy with the tray loading RRD44 and RRD45.

Is that the one that used a bizarre proprietary
plastic carrier for the
disk?
No, it's a top-loader with no caddy.
Maybe the RRD40 used a proprietary caddy? ?I've never seen it, so I don't
know.
