Available device DKB100: device type RRD40S
I have one of these in my VAXserver 3100... It appears to take a caddy? Is this the
type of thing I could hope to find on ebay?

I would expect those caddys are pretty easy to find. Ebay would be a
good bet.

The RRD40 uses an early Phillips drive. The caddies are different to those

Judging by how awkward it is to change the CD in one I think the original

I have one, and I know where it is, but no way will you part me from it.
