I just got a fax from SGI heralding the CD-ROM offer. 

They tell me that the CD-ROM drive itself is currently only
available for PI systems.  I have a PI but it may not be around
for long.  My question is this:

If I have "hot-wired" a 3rd-party 8mm drive to the SCSI bus of a 210, 
shouldn't I be able to similarly attach this so-called PI-only CD-ROM 
drive to a 210?
