I believe I have one or two of these in my Indigo2, which IRIX or NetBSD,
depending on the day... IIRC, I have the DCHS-4F.  I think my R8k Indigo2
may have gotten another one of these, or I may have one floating around
as a spare...

I can't recall if mine had 514 or 520 byte sectors when I got them, but
they were something non-standard.... Since I didn't have a NetBSD disk
on the machine at the time, I used the IRIX `fx' tool to fix the formats.

If you have sources for the SCSI tool, I can see if the Indigo2 still
powers up (I've since got a much nicer and quieter Challenge S 8-)
and if I can get the mode page definitions for you.  Please send me
pointers/sources off-list to keep the S/N from dropping even lower 
than normal 8-)
