- Not exactly. The 4D35 does have the same GIO bus as the Indigo and can accept
- the Elan graphics card, as long as you have this little L shaped adapter
- board to make it the same form factor as a GR1 board. I wouldn't think SGI
- would sell just this adapter board, but there is no harm in asking your local
- sales office...
-
- The 4D20 and 4D25 will not work with the Elan board.
