[Suns-at-Home] Yamaha CRW 6416S CD burner

[Sandwich Maker]

" From: "Charles Lindsey" <chl@clerew.man.ac.uk>
" 
" 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?).

solaris has never cared about it.  openboot 3 on ultrasparcs doesn't
either.  in both cases they just issue the proper mode command to
switch blocksize.
