hmmm... no jumper is supposed to be 2k blocksize... mount fails.
hmmm... fit jumper for 512 byte blocksize ... mount works.
Unless the manual is wrong and adding the jumper actually
changes a default 512 byte blocksize to a 2k blocksize,
yes.

That's what I thought, but I've had to set 512 bytes to make
it work. I haven't noticed boot-up blocksize messages for anything
other than disk in any recent kernels (more's the pity), so I can't
confirm exactly what the system sees... (and scsiinfo/scsi-config
doesn't appear to want to see the devices on the second Initio
controller).
I'm not sure about the general support of CD-ROMs with 512
byte blocks - I have an old Sun Sony drive which used to
work with 1.x kernels and then stopped working some time
ago, so I assumed that more recent kernels broke it (or
maybe the drive died).
I haven't tried it with win98 with the 512 byte blocksize.
