I would appreciate any advice on adding a Wren 7 scsi drive to a 320vgx that has a Hitachi 780MB scsi drive as drive 1. SGI seems to have yet another "standard" cable connector. Jim

If you don't have the external SCSI connector, then you only have the internal 50 pin ribbon cables, which plug directly into most SCSI drives, including the Wren VII (now Seagate ST4767N or ST41200N, depending on which one you have). Both have been announced for the 4D20 and 4D25, but have not been qualified on other SGI machines. Chances are good that it will work, but you are on your own... -- Dave Olson Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
