I just bought a Yamaha CRW 6416S CD burner on Ebay, for use on my Ultra-2.

There are jumpers on the back for fixing the SCSI unit number (easy), plus  
two marked 'Parity' and 'Block' (also 'Terminate', which I presume should  
be out).

So should those two be In or Out? Judging by my previous CD-ROM, I thought  
In for both, because that previous one had jumpers 'Parity' and  
'Sector-Size', both of which needed to be in. But it worketh not so far,  
and it is too late at night to try all the permutations just now :-( .

The Yamaha was manufactured in 1999, and I assume that in those days you  
had to jumper them for the Sun 512-block nonsense (or doesn't Solaris 10  
care about that anymore?).
