Your going to need a CDROM that can be set for 512 byte sectors. We use to
use Plextor drives
and if money was a factor, Pioneer. In the early days Plextor drives were
quite a bit more expensive
the all the others, and where usually faster.
BTW 512 bytes came from the sector size of a hard drive
Thanks. That doc mirrors my current understanding, but it doesn't address
the ROM hack I'm contemplating.

I have some vague memory, but I was thinking that could just be wishful /

Didn't hacked or 3rd party cd-rom drivers exist. That won't handle the
boot problem, but the boot checks might not be as thorough as Disk Setup
???
Plextor CD-ROM SCSI drives used to have a 512 byte block jumper as
well. I don't know about the DVD drives.

Yeah, I think you mean the 2048 vs 512 byte block size. SGI's use a 512
byte size,
On older Apple 68k machines, having an Apple-branded CDROM means you can
be assured it'll boot (though it's rumored that many generic SCSI CDROMs
work for booting) and also that it'll "just work" on most of the OSs.
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but over on the early SGI
