I have a Sony CDU561-SC (it came in a Sun 411 case - not sure if Sun ever sold them like this or if it was custom) that worked just fine to boot an HP 9000/425e (one of the last 68k models, I think?) the other day. Its been pretty handy for various old workstations (except for my SGI Indy who really doesn't seem to like it)
