Re: Caddy for 755cx 12.5mm drive?
Hi Chris,
If the market for 755 caddies is anything like the market for 701
caddies, you may be in for a bit of a struggle. I found that most
companies that have caddies only want to sell them with their
(overpriced) drives. Portable Enhancements was willing to sell a caddy
by itself, but htey wanted more for the caddy than another company did
for a 160M drive in a caddy! I'd guess your best bet would be to
advertise and try to find an individual who has an extra one and is
willing to part with it for a reasonable sum. I bought two caddies for
my still dark 701 [I'm still looking for an LCD panel or a Multiport
II]: one for $60 and one for $20.
Good luck.
