Hallo all,
I recently dug through my SE/30 parts collection.
A HDD carrier sled which caught my attention.
It looks quite different but still similar to the original one, but a number of points are strange to me.
I was not able to find a picture or hint for the other variant on the Internet so far.
For comparsion two pictures with an original sled and the "strange" one.
Notable differences:
The only thing I can think of so far:
Maybe there has been a 3rd party kit for people owning a Macintosh SE built to replace the 2nd floppy by a HDD?

Notable differences:
- No parts number on it
- As a whole, built much more simpler, rough metal surface
- It seems as if construction was reduced to the bare minimum needed for a basic HDD fit
- no activity LED mount
- Significantly flatter overall
- cut-out metal has no rounded but sharp edges
