When it’s closed it’s not flush with the rest of the case. See the pictures. This is how I got it. But it works just fine. Was it replaced at some point with one that was slightly different? Or can it be adjusted somehow?

This is the 466 clamshell with dvd drive and as far as I can see it is original but I donno.

Any pointers? Thanks!

Yikes I hope it wasn’t like this from day one. It sticks out pretty far.

Does anyone know the model of the drive that’s in the machine?

I might try and find one that I can swap in. Or at the very least a service manual for adjustments.
 
I think the exact brand matters less than the front part of the tray that the case piece is attached to. If that's too fat, you could get something like that. Otherwise it's a pretty bog-standard drive. I don't remember exactly what's in mine and I'd have to dig it out to look.
