I have a Sony CDU561-SC (it came in a Sun 411 case - not sure if Sun
ever sold them like this or if it was custom) that worked just fine to
boot an HP 9000/425e (one of the last 68k models, I think?) the other
day. Its been pretty handy for various old workstations (except for my
SGI Indy who really doesn't seem to like it)

I've stayed with the Toshibas although I have a Sony that supports the
block size as well. The thing to do is look for external CD-ROMs from like
SUN DEC etc. Or from the SUN 3800 I need to get rid of.
