[comp.sys.sgi] IRIX 3.2 and other questions

I know that some (or maybe all) of these questions have probably been
posted at some time or another but I either missed the answer or one 
was never posted, so please bare with me.

I have a Personal IRIS w/8Mb of memory, 170MB disk, and 12 bit planes.

	1) On IRIX 3.2:
		- Obviously many people have this already, how do I get
		  mine?!!!
		- Does any X stuff come with it?
		- Is the NFS software fixed?
		- Was there a major change to the manuals and do any
		  new manuals come with the upgrade?

	2) What is the best place to obtain the following third party 
	   hardware, what problems will arise with it, what is it's
	   cost and should I install it myself? Also, what software
	   changes will be need for some of these?
		- Memory
		- External SCSI Hard Disk
		- VME Bus extension
		- Extra Serial lines

	3) What is a good SPICE-like package (with A & D circuit design)
	   that has a nice graphics interface for editing the design
	   and possibly features like an oscilloscope or a wave function 
	   generator? (and who sells it?)


Sorry if any of these questions are moog points but I've been out of it
for a while.
