Does the "AppleCD 300 Plus" support 512-byte blocks? I've got a 3rd
party 4x external drive I bought for my PowerBook 520c back in '95
that I typically use on systems that require 512-byte blocks.
Somehow I got lucky! The computer is long dead, but the CD-ROM drive
gets used several times a year :^)

It was probably tossed because it's old and slow. Having said that,
awesome find, in my opinion, that's one of the best systems for
running OpenBSD (I've often wished I had one). One of these days
I'll get one, I've managed to get everything between the Sparc 2 and
Ultra 60, except it and an Ultra 30 for
free :^)
