- It seems that SGI did decide to support this option. I ordered a DAT drive
- for a Personal Iris in June, with part number P5-T13D (list in US $2500). The
- Indigo part number for the DAT is P3-T13D. I found out about both part numbers
- because we were accidentally sent the Indigo version of the drive. I
- think our purchasing department may have been the culprit, but who can tell :(
