I've no ideal; all of my "Sun" CDROM drives are Toshiba but other than
a factory test jumper and the ID jumpers there's nothing to suggest that
they have hardware-selected block sizes.

Um that *is* the normal convention -- address bitweights. 2 + 4 = 6 :-)

I doubt it's going to work. 2.7 (aka 5.7 aka Solaris 7) was supposed
to have dropped support for all VME machines save for the 660MP
(which then got ditched by 2.8 [aka 5.8 aka Solairs 8 -- pick your
marketing convention]).
You might try 2.6; certainly 2.5.1 plus a ton of patches should work.
