It would boot off any cdrom pretty much. The problem came when I tried to
do a restore from the cd's system image. Instant screenfull of greek.
The RRD40 was the only drive I could install vms off of.

I've not had much problems finding drives that will
boot a 4000/60. I've
used an RRD42, a couple of Toshibas, and a couple of Plextors without any
problems.
