- We are considering purchasing a 15 seat lab of indigos.
- We'd like to avoid paying SGI's high prices for peripherals
- and thus we'd like to put our own hard drives in the machines.
- However, it appears that the indigos use a funky card connector
- rather a normal scsi cable for the drive interface. Could
- someone tell me what is involved in installing an internal
- scsi drive on an R4000 indigo?
- Also, am I correct in assuming the the R4000 indigos
- (unlike the R3000s) accept standard commodity 9-bit simms?
