Just 30 minutes ago I solved my same problem with an HP9000-747i. After
several weeks of search I had found Mr. Lutz Krings from Eupen/Belgium.
Totaly fresh in my arms I have 2 drives featuring the 512-byte-mode. My
old NEC- drive wasn't able to read in this mode.

Mr. Krings gave me a:

- Toshiba Model XM-3501B with caddy, missing jumpers, but this doesent't
matter for single ended bus

- Pioneer DR-466 12x with the recommended jumper for 512 bytes

I think both drives will work, the one that leaves unneccessary´could be
yours, I'll report.
