[comp.sys.sgi] Adding 3rd party disks and controllers ?

I'm in the process of considering buying a SGI 310S, and have not been
able to get any clear indications about adding third party peripherals.
In particular we have a whole bunch of SMD disks lying around (3 GB worth)
and a storage tech 1/2" tape drive, and we'd like to reuse them. Also ideally
we'd like to add our own choice of disk controllers (in particular I have
a fancy for the Ciprico rimfire series). Has anybody attempted to do this
sort of thing and how much grief have they had ?
