I was given two old 486 CPU based PC's this weekend for free which I inted to use for old DOS games, one of them is a Compaq Deskpro 466 and I want to stuff a cd-rom in to it's non occupied 5 1/4 inch holder but I seem to miss the drive rails, does anyone know what type that fits or is it some Compaq special made one's?

Have attached a pic

That looks kind of familiar.
I'm certain someone here has there corresponding rails but it's practically impossible to tell without trying it (physically seeing if the drive/rails combo works).
Besides that, most people who have those lying around have more than they can keep track of, often in the same place, and computer parts are notorious for having sharp edges, so it's like looking for a pack of razors in a haystack... an open pack.
sorry
