The tray-loading bezel from a Q650 or PM 7100 will fit, but the IIvx-Performa 600 as shipped certainly had a caddy-loading cd drive. I know. I bought one brand new back in the early 90s.
Still have it, in fact, and while the machine is much maligned, I managed to write two or three books on it, depending what you count, and used it more or less daily as a writing machine right up until around around 2000.
What strikes me now, of course, whenever I start it up (which is not very often) is how painfully slow it is, yet it worked well for what it was, and honestly never skipped a beat. Coming to it as I did from several years writing on a PC/XT from the land of MS-DOS, it was a wonderful tool during the first year or two of use. Then I began to drool over the new PPCs and such, which I could not afford – and which now come to me for nothing like some sort of long-lost loves from my youth.
Ah, the joys of retro-computing!
