 That's 512 *byte* block size, not K.  As opposed to the normal 2048
 byte(2K) block size.
 Macs do not need 512 byte block CD-ROM drives.  Only older non-PC
 workstations and servers normally need that.
  
My understanding is that newer Power Macs that run Open Firmware need
the 512 byte block.  My experience has been that the drives I've pulled
 from PCI Power Macs will boot in Sun hardware. 
Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong.
