Do you have a Sun 36.4 GB drive? (this is implied in your original message)
If so you can put in the Sun Blade 1000 along with the ST336704FCV.
Then in format you should see the Sun labeled disk as a choice when you need
to select the type of the non-Sun disk.
You should be able to low-level format it and it will look the same as any
other Sun 36.4 GB drive.

If the only difference for the V is more cache, i.e. cylinders, heads and
sectors are the same, this should work.
