After cleaning and re-capping, this is the latest epic addition to my collection of vintage CD-ROM drives. It's an #LMSI CM 221, introduced in 1989 and still using the CDM3-based CM 201 from 1986 at its core.

It was also sold by #Philips as the CDD 401.

And here's the CD-ROM drive these caddys are for: The CM 201 from Laser Magnetic Storage International (#Philips). My unit is from December 1989, but the CM 201 goes back to late 1986 and was the second drive made by #LMSI after the CM 100/110. It was the first CD-ROM drive ever to fit into a 5.25" drive bay (half-height). It's built around the Philips CDM-3 laser assembly. Actually, that's pretty much all there is inside (plus some support electronics). Similar to ST-506 hard disks from the time, this drive is dumb. The driver software does most of the work, incl. decoding of the data and seeking to the correct sector.

Ultra-rare CD-ROM caddys for the very first half-height 5.25" CD-ROM drive ever made (#Philips / #LMSI CM-201, introduced in late 1986). Finding one is already nearly impossible. But finding four? Just an insane amount of luck. 😂

Da ich die beiden Stütz-Elkos auf dem Audio-Board erneuert hatte, war eben noch ein Test mit zeitlich korrekter Techno-Mucke nötig. Bestanden - die Bässe hämmern jetzt wieder ordentlich. 🥳​

Das #LMSI-Interface muss ich noch testen, aber das ist nicht so wichtig.

Übrigens, die Tonqualität von dem Teil ist absolut klasse. Da hätten sich viele andere CD-Player, die sich "Hi-Fi" nannten, eine dicke Scheibe von abschneiden können. 👍​

"En participant à un Black Bloc, les hommes blancs prétendent prouver la radicalité de leur engagement politique et ils expriment leur virilité, sans hésiter à dénigrer par ailleurs des actions moins musclées, donc supposément moins radicales (cette attitude qui amalgame violence, radicalisme et virilité a été qualifiée de manarchism – ou « anarchomachisme » (...)
