The Toshiba CD-ROM drive in here is one I added back in the early 90s. It’s the first one I ever owned and it’s a sideways mounted caddy drive. I see there is a caddy in there, so I will be curious to see when powered up if it’s the disc I expect it to be.
My uncle owned an early CD-ROM publishing company back then called Lightbinders, Inc and they published a famous early disc on Darwin. I attempted to make an Amiga reader for it, but only did the early stages.
