Test results of SCSI devices on MicroVAX 3100

Does the RRD-42 have a caddy load? My XM-3401 is a caddy load, but they
may have had a tray version also.

My RRD-43 has a wicked heavy duty tray like I've never seen on any other
CD-ROM drive before. Usually they're just these cheap plastic trays, but
the RRD-43 is heavy metal and the CD really "snaps" into the center hub.

I'm fairly certain that this is the same as a RRD-42. My RRD-42 is the
same as the Toshiba drive that was in my SparcStation 5, and yes it is
2x. That's probably why it worked just fine.
