I have a shoe box full of similar Compaq caddies, blanks and one or two
slightly different caddies.

I am interested in swapping what I have for SCA disk carrier plates which
fit in the slots in the front of my DEC Alphaserver 800.  These are a much
simpler device consisting of a steel base with a honeycomb of ventilation
holes, no top, clear plastic runners on the sides and a flexible clear
plastic pull handle at the front.  See figure 10-10 on page 240 of:

I don't have any disks to include unless someone wants a couple of failed
18GB examples.

(I also have an unidentified 4 slot SCA disk cage which I have no caddies/
carriers for and I have no idea what to look for except that they seem to
be slightly larger (wider) than either the Compaq type or the Alphaserver
800 type.)

I am in Dublin, Ireland.
