	Hello eveyone

	I am trying to find out if a pc style SCSI CD-ROM,
	that is, one with a 2048 byte sector size, can be made
	to work on an IPX running NetBSD.
	As it is known, both Sun-OS and Solaris expect a 512 
	byte sector size, but i`ve heard this to be a software 
	problem.
	This would also provide me with a good excuse to use NetBSD,
	at which i`ve alwais looked favourably for the availability of
	the source. Are there any noticeable performance drawbacks
	compared with Sun-OS 4.X
	I apologize if this information is already availible, but i`ve
	been unable to find it

							Thanks.
