I snagged it off eBay on a buy it now:







I'm thrilled, I finally got it tested and it just read a CD-R! [] ]'>

how much did you end up throwing down for that bad boy?

 

[Trash80toHP_Mini]

Thirty bucks (less a nickel) shipped, guaranteed to please . . .

. . . and it does! :approve:

Oh cool. It's the version that wasn't stripped of the front panel by Apple.

I personally would prefer caddy loading CD-R instead.

caddy loading CD-R

Was there many of those made?

I have my fingers crossed for you that it doesn't need re-capping!!!

ALL of my caddy-load SCSI Apple CD drives are dead or almost dead and all have leaking caps

Plextor made them at least. Possibly Yamaha too. They aren't rare. I picked up a seven drive tower for $20 form a recycler and gave another one to someone to put in their NeXT Cube.

Gah! Recapping! :O Hopefully not, it works wonderfully as is. I couldn't find a CD-RW to burn to test it with, but I can dig a backup out for that.

I wonder if I may need to remove the bezel to mount it in the 950?

Were those Sony drives that died of CapLeakage?

Looks like they've got another one for sale:

I think the correct name is a Caddy Loader.
