I believe the consensus is that this applies to the Sakura Taisen
Special Edition consoles, and _only_ to those consoles.  They are not
particularly hard to recognize, being pink and having Sakura Taisen
related decorations all over.  They are also only available in Japan.

I have not heard of any other models having CD booting disabled.
