Cartridges for Panasonic ram disks
I have got got my hands on a few Ram disks without the caddy and I can not be fussed to load them each time. Being lazy and just wanting to pop the lot in the player I would like to know does any one know of a supplier of blank caddies?
Thanks

You`ve lost me there mate.. :/
You thinking that the cartridges allow loading of umpteen RAM discs at once ?
Nooooo...
You can only load one RAM disc at a time,cartridge or not.
I also can`t see you being able to buy cartridges on their own.
I`ve never seen that anyway.
They are are sealed unit with a wee `door` that opens as the machine takes it in.

Hi once again bowfer. A mate of mine on my recomendation bought a Panny E55 and it came with a about ten blank ram disks which he has given to me. They appear to be just shiney gold disks minus the caddy (not the usual -r type). I am assuming that these just slip into an opened caddy. there is a warning against against scratches, finger prints etc, there is no printing on them. Or have I picked up the wrong end of the stick again?
A.T.B.

You don`t have to put these into cartridges first.
Just slot them in the E55`s tray like you would any old DVD
They are surprisingly tough.
I use non-cartridge RAM discs all the time
Never had a problem and I can assure you I don`t exactly look after them !
They are left lying around all the time.
A quick rub on the sleeve and off we go !

Cheers Bowfer, you learn something new every day. I really was going up the wrong path. I`m wondering why they have caddies in the first place.
Cheers again

I`ve no doubt RAM discs in cartridges will last longer due to the greater protection.
However,like I said,I ain`t never had a problem not no way never no I haven`t.
In fact,the wee one prefers to play with the one`s in cartridges. :(
She likes the springy wee `door` on them... :/
RE: Cartridges for Panasonic ram disks
Does anyone know if the Datasafe ones from svp in the caddy can be removed so I can pop them in my pc, as I cannot see how they can be opened without breaking them?

Trying to think whats worst that or all the stuff they use to put through the VHS flap including half eaten mars bars. :) :)

Speaking about kids and the E50/E55 range,the childlock facility on the machines is superb and so easy to use.
Top marks to Panny for that.
