[comp.sys.sgi] 3rd party hardware info needed

amys@ncsa.uiuc.edu (Amy Swanson) (09/20/90)

We are thinking about purchasing some 3rd party hardware for our 4D/20s and
I would like to know if anyone has had any experience with either of these
companies.  I would appreciate hearing about both good and bad experiences.


	Parity Systems - 4 MB SIMMs

	National Peripherals - IPI drive/SMD drives


Thanks for any information you may be able to provide.

Another question:  I have heard rumors that SGI is coming out with a 33 MHz 
Personal Iris. Does anyone know if such SIMMS as the above will be migratable to
this machine?  I believe most people are putting 80 ns SIMMS into existing
PIs.

... the machine is the 4D/35.  Max memory 128MB.  Or so my spies tell me.
