That won't handle the boot problem, but the boot checks might not be

thorough as Disk Setup ???
Well, my 660AV will boot from a Yamaha drive I have. However, MacOS
refuses to show the drive after it's installed. So, I'm thinking that
a
hack such as the one we are discussing might be a full fledged
solution.
Plextor CD-ROM SCSI drives used to have a 512 byte block jumper as
well.
I don't know about the DVD drives.
Plextor makes some great gear. However, I've also had good luck with
Yamaha. I have had trouble with Pioneer, but they make the only
slot-CDROM
(and DVD) drives I know of. Their metal USB drives are also nicely
built,
pretty, and have a cool design. However, they've been less robust
than
some others I own (I have an LG drive with much fewer read errors and
it's
actually slot-driven, too).
