Great, the Sony SCSI CD-ROM drive that I wanted to install in the #IBM PS/2 Model 76i just exploded with a loud bang. After that, lots of debris fell out the front. It was recapped 7 years ago and apparently one of the larger tantalum caps gave up. Normally, these burn, but that one really exploded...
Have to open the drive to check for damage, but for now, I have to fall back to a much newer 8x drive.
