[comp.sys.sgi] 3rd party SMD disks for SGI's IPI controller

Hi,
if you have successfully installed and used a 3rd party SMD disk,
please let me know.

Alternatively, if you have been unsuccessful, letme know that as well.

I will summarize.

BTW, this is for the external "coffee table" that can contain up to
8 SMD disks.

SMD and IPI are two different device level interfaces.  SMD drives will not
run on an IPI controller.
