Summary: Trying to find peoples experience in adding third party disks and contr Message-ID: Date: 9 Nov 90 06:53:59 GMT Sender: news@diemen.utas.edu.au Distribution: comp Lines: 12 I'm in the process of considering buying a SGI 310S, and have not been able to get any clear indications about adding third party peripherals. In particular we have a whole bunch of SMD disks lying around (3 GB worth) and a storage tech 1/2" tape drive, and we'd like to reuse them. Also ideally we'd like to add our own choice of disk controllers (in particular I have a fancy for the Ciprico rimfire series). Has anybody attempted to do this sort of thing and how much grief have they had ? Bill Hart CSIRO Division of Oceanography Australia hart@ocean.ml.csiro.au
