Well, ask Toshiba. ( www.toshiba.co.jp )
You don't really need these infos, just plug the disk in and try probe-scsi on the PROM, it should give you at least some idea. The Solaris format utility is able to recognize the disk itself.
( I had endless worries with format - it just didn't want to format my 6GB toshiba until I gave up, got to sleep, tried again the next day and it worked... )

hope that helps
Michael
