Hi Folks,
Now that my Quadra 660AV is up and running

I have started to turn my attention to my Quadra 840AV - which leads me on to my next questions - does anyone know if a tray loading CD-ROM drive from a Performa 630 will work on a Quadra 840AV? I *hate* the blasted caddy mechanism, and know I am going to end up snapping bits off at some point!
I think any Apple SCSI CD-ROM drive will fit. The only requisite is that the plugs are in the same places as the original drive as there is virtually not slack in the cables to move them around in the 840av. I speak from experience...
Can I put a tray-loading CD frontis from a PowerMac 8x00 on the Quadra to make it look right too? If you can, is there anyone on this list in the UK that has a spare 8100 CD front-piece? I have cash and other parts that I can trade.
All Quadra 800, Quadra 840av, PowerMac 8100, PowerMac 8200 and PowerMac 8500, as well as PowerMac 9500 front bezel panels are compatible, as far as I remember.
