I don't seem to recall seing that, but I can sell brand new chinnon
double speed scsi cdrom drives for $131.00 plus shipping.  (Model CDS-525S).

This is a tray type drive (ie, no caddies needed).

280ms Access Time, 300KB/sec transfer rate, 64K buffer, multisession photo
cd compatible, exceeds MPC2 specifications.

It does not come with any drivers, so if you plan to use this with DOS
and/or windows you'll need drivers (these are usually supplied with the
controller card anyway).

The only problem I have with the drive is that the NCR driver in FreeBSD
does not like it.  I do not know if this is due to the V10 firmware
in the drive (Chinon is sending me a V11 upgrade to try out, and as
soon as the bloody NDA is done the full drive docs so I can get this
working) or a problem with the NCR sequencer code in FreeBSD.
