Is there more than one Pentax MX Winder? More than one Pentax, or aftermarket, winder compatible with Pentax MX bodies?

Right now on eBay there is a MX camera kit for sale which includes an "ASAHI Pentax MX winder" that looks different from the MX Winders I am used to seeing (the ones with normally broken battery compartment doors).

The MX Winder in this particullar ad has what looks like a Ni-Cd battery pack.

So, is there more than one Winder compatible with Pentax MX bodies?

Thanks,

I think I found the answer.
For the Pentax MX, there is a 'Winder'(2fps) and a "Motor Drive'(5fps) avalible.
The one in the eBay ad I mention above is a MX Motor Drive.

Next question:
Is the MX Motor Drive more reliable, has higher quality construction, than the MX Winder?

Thanks,

I've never seen the MX motordrive listed before and phrases about hen's teeth come to mind. I would guess it is better built, but it is only a guess. It can take NiCAD battery packs etc. I believe.
