My first CD-ROM drive was the refurb PowerCD, the second was either the one in the Quadra 630 (that might have been standard equipment now that I think about it) or my Philips OmniWriter CD-R/RW. So I never really dealt with the caddies until a friend was cleaning the old Mac stuff out and gave me one of those loooong HEAVY externals from Apple along with a few caddies.

That's interesting about the 840AV having either bezel, I may snag the trayloader bezel for mine. I wish I had that one for the 950, but now I've got a caddy loader for behind that bezel in there too.

IIvx, IIvi and Q650 and C650 were all VERY common with the blank front bezel. It sure would be silly if Apple had shipped the AV Macs without a CD-ROM Drive!
