[comp.sys.sgi] 3rd party hardware & maintenance by SGI

amys@ncsa.uiuc.edu (Amy Swanson) (10/02/90)

I am interested in hearing from sites that currently have 3rd party hardware
on their SGI systems and how their maintenance is handled by SGI.  I am
well aware of SGI's policy concerning 3rd party hardware, but like everyone
else, current budgets require purchasing less expensive non-SGI hardware.  I
would like to know if people have run into "roadblocks" from SGI when their
systems need maintenance and how it has been handled.


Thanks in advance,
Amy
