Hi,

I have a Personal Iris 4D/20 with a 170 Mb disk and I would like to install
an additional 760 Mb drive in the full height slot. The problem is what to 
do with my existing 150 Mb SCSI tape drive.

I am aware that Silicon Graphics sells an external unit for disk drives
but the price of one of these with a 380 Mb drive is the same as an internal
760 Mb drive.

Does anyone out there know if there is some type of (inexpensive) external 
cabinet that I can move the tape drive to? 

Or any other suggestions ...

Thanks in advance for your help
