Can anyone give me info on a good third party distributor for external hard disks for a 4D/20? What is entailed in installing it? Can I just plug it into the SCSI port, configure the system for it, and let it ride? Will I need to give it a power supply or do they generally come with one? Also, (hope this isn't a dumb question but I just got out of rehab.) what's the main difference between the 4D/20 and the 4D/25? From what I've gathered, the "25" is an upgrade of the "20"(?). Does everyone have IRIX-3.2 already or is it still going out to us unlucky few? Please email me if you can, I've already wasted enough bandwith as it is. If you don't I suppose there's already enough bozos posting to some worthless newsgroup that it won't matter, so post it!
