RRD5X-AA CD caddy for an RRD40-E?

[dhoelzer]

Anyone have any idea where I can track one of these down? My RRD40 is pretty much useless without the caddy.

Let us know if you find any. I just picked up an InfoServer 100 with (2x) RRD40 drives which of course came without the caddies that are specific to the RRD40. I swapped them out for an RRD45 as the RRD40 drives are currently useless. These are the version where the native interface on the RRD40 drive is not SCSI and each drive has an interface board that translates that interface to SCSI.

Just so's you know, unless you're really a stickler for brand-name completeness, any old CD caddy off eBay will work.

Edit: oh, it's a proprietary caddy? My mistake.

If you look at this manuals there are some illustrations of the RRD40 caddy. Some people have referred to it as a "lobster claw" caddy.
