: It's a _sun-bootable_ cd-rom, which are much more difficult to find.

Pioneer DR-966 - has a lug on the back of the unit to select 512 or 2048
byte blocks (i.e. boot/non-boot on Suns).  48x.

They're $245, if I recall correctly, internal.  Give Standard Computers a
call (look'em up on whitepages.com.au) if you're in Melbourne.  Add on $100
for a case and that's $345, still under Craig's price...
