Yeah, my first CD-ROM drive was like this [1], the enclosure could be opened to place the CD inside.

The drive came with one enclosure, I'm not aware that anyone (including me) ever bothered buying additional enclosures. This surely wasn't helped by the fact that Audio-CD's (with their mechanical trays) were already widespread and produced at large volume without such a cartridge-enclosure...
