so has _anyone_ gotten a 735 working or anything? I have 7 of them that are taking up space in my dorm room, and two 755's under the desk that server the same purpose...
I believe some people have had 735 working using narrow SE disks on the same i/f as the CD.
My guess is, the thing to do is merge the FW stuff from MkLinux driver and see what still works. Slight problem with that driver is it knows what hardware you have by what machine it determines you have. FW, Big/Little endian configurations figured out on the spot. It'd be better to recognize those attributes by examining the controller.
Since my C110 has a fast/wide, and so does my 735, I'm in the bad spot of never really having either machine fully boot up. The CDROM drive I have doesn't "like" RW discs, so I'd love to see someone stamp out a Woody-ish master that I can read from.

FWD disks on 53c720 on C110 should work these days. Either use a recent kernel, or use the workaround in the 0.9.3 ISO errata. They wont work on the 735 because the processor on that box doesn't support consistent memory (pci_alloc_consistent() fails).
My parisc boxes don't like CD-RW disks either, but are quite happy with CD-R disks I burn myself.
