Anyone happen to have a source to a photo of the NeXT CDROM drive? Google's
being spectacularly unhelpful (one of those times where it'd be really handy
to be able to do a case-sensitive search :)
I'm interested to know whether the case styling was done in-house (and so is
in keeping with the rest of the product line) or whether it was just an
off-the-shelf unit.
cheers

I have one at home, if I can find it (and that's a mighty big if), I'll
snap a photo if someone else doesn't dig one up beforehand.

It's essentially a badge-engineered Apple external CD. I have a few
of both... mostly because the Apple parts are 100% the same so I use
them to repair the NeXT drives. I can dig up the appropriate model
numbers if you want.

It's physically identical to the caddy-load 2x Sony OEM unit that
made the rounds as (for example) the Apple CD300 and DEC RRD42,
except for the black casing, black plastics, and NeXT logo pasted up
front.

stick-on colour one! Otherwise it's a black RRD42 with a NeXT sticker on the
bottom :)
