[HECnet] RRD40 / Infoserver 100 CDROM Caddy

To the best of my knowledge only one company made these drives. I actually have bare drive still in the box, and an external RRD40. My question would be, does the Infoserver allow upgrading the CD-ROM drive? If so I'd look into something like an RRD42 or a Plextor drive if it will work (I've had good luck with Plextor drives in DEC gear). The RRD40 is the most agonizingly slow CD-ROM drive I've ever used! I've had luck with replacing the drive in InfoServers with any old VAX-bootable CD-ROM drive. Even the Toshiba XM-4101, which doesn't quite fit properly. Peace... Sridhar
