The block size just reflects how the host machine
chooses to read (or write) the data. The actual
pattern of bits on the CD-R(W) is not affected.
I've written a few ODS-2 CDs (OpenVMS format) quite
happily on a PC CD-RW (and now a DVD-RW). I've also
written a few CDs for my Ultra 5 too.
If you want to swap the CDROM in your SGI (or Sun
or VAX or Alpha) you will need one that meets its
requirements, obviously.
