I have an older one which is rather similar to the MB 017 - 5.25 FH unit
which accepts 3 1" tall LVD drives.

The unit is rather picky as to which drives go where.  My IBM 9.1GB 10K
drives only work in the top and bottom slots, whereas the seagate 9.1GB 10K
drive works in all slots.  All drives work fine in another (non-icy dock)
enclosure.

I don't really know if this is a problem of the enclosure or the drives,
and since they currently function I'm not really going to find out [until
they break].

My 2e-2 cents.
