Toshiba XM-3201B or whatever it's called - the ancient 2x
version. Needs to be hacked to support 512-byte sectors,
which means cutting a trace between two solder pads.

There's a Sun CDROM faq out there somewhere with info on
this - try www.squirrel.com as a good starting point for
all things Sun related.

Nope, the ROM just won't do it. Apparently the 3/80 3.03
ROM can do it, but that's the only sun3/3x I know of that
can.

See above.

SunOS 4.1.1 can (well, HSFS which is the High Sierra file system,
an early incantation of rockridge). Linux & NetBSD can - its just
a matter of software - the hardware is irrelevant.
