Actually, they're not 'proprietary junk'. They are the same caddies as 
used onm the original Philips CD-ROM drive. They were also used on at 
least one Amiga CD-ROM drive.

In many ways those caddies are the original standard.

[I have _one_. I am keeping it as I have the Philips drive I just 
mentioned..]
