   So when @lazygamereviews said we're in a golden age of retro computing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ-RUn5lzgw), he really meant it!!

   Missing the proprietary HDD mounting bracket for your 90s Toshiba laptop?

   Time to warm up the 3D printer!

   Thank you, retro nerds, for being you. <3

     I have a Toshiba 440CDX is missing the bracket the HDD sits on. It can still be used without it, but getting the HDD aligned with the pins in the back of the cavity is a real mission

     I'm sure I could 3D print something to make my life easier, so I was wondering if anyone with the same laptop (or same family even? 400-series, or at least other 440CXX models I would guess) could take some photos+measurements of the HDD sled/bracket so I can recreate the missing part

     Any help is much appreciated!
