> I bought a sled, so now IRIX is installed on a real 4GB SCSI Quantum Fireball HDD ... whilst it lasts, anyway. Yeah, I think the disks are the crux of the matter. Afaik, SCSI disks (those with a parallel interface) haven't been made in decades (those with FC interface are still made, I think). IDE drives, OTOH, can trivially be replaced (upgraded) with CF cards. Is there a SCSI to IDE (oh the horror) adapter? And me disposing of an Sun Ultra 60 because it (was ancient and) came with the inferior IDE interface ...
