CDROM problem on Indigo 2

RE: CDROM problem on Indigo 2
I worked for a biotech company that was across the parking lot of Sun Microsystems when they were a year old and occupied one building. Down the street about a half mile was SGI in their purple buildings. Now the old SGI buildings are occupied by Google.

I saw some Sun CDROMS on ebay but they looked to be from newer Sun Ultras with part numbers that I could not match to any specifications on Google searches, or poor pictures from the sellers. Plextor PX-TS40Si CDROMS do have the 512 blocking jumpers and I did find one, but by the time I found out from the seller if it had mounting screw holes on the base for mounting on SGI sled, the unit sold. So my search continues. It is sad to see sellers on ebay who ask high prices for these drives but provide very few pictures or enough information to make a decision to buy. I did see some external Plextor CDROMs that buyers were asking $500 a piece for, ridiculous. I guess I will need to be patient or see if I can find some local SF bay area/Silicon Valley resellers where I can find a usable CDROM from.
