I've acquired and sold at least 6-7 of them this year. Where were
you?

Yeah, you've got enough on your plate for now.

I have a Transwarp IIe finally. I'd rather speed up the old IIe

Didn't you have

No, this one is the long thin case where the entire end is the
same
size as the faceplate of the drive itself. I also have the other
one
that you described. That one has to stay a caddy loader.

mechanism, if

Yeah, that's what this other one is like that I have. There is
no tray load type that will fit in it.
