There are many many PC-compatible CD-ROMs that also talk 512-byte
sectors. There might be some in your/his pile already.
Toshiba SCSI cd-roms have jumpers that can be cut to set it to 512 byte
blocks, and plextor SCSI cd-rom drives have a jumper for doing so.
And so do many Pioneer drives, and a lot of Sony drives do the right
thing when faced with the SCSI command.
