[SunRescue] i'm confused.

i'm digging through these two 4d/35 boxes Linc gave me and i get to the
HDDs.  easy enough, they are all Seagates, jot down the part numbers, wander
over to the computer, hop on google and search.  fine, everything comes up
as it should.  with one exception.

the one has a full-height drive, ST4767N which is a 665MB SE drive.  the other
machine has a full-height drive, ST4767ND which is a 665MB Diff drive (and to
make things worse, has a sticker that says 760MB on it)

how can one 4d/35 have a SE and the other a Diff drive?  is that possible? i
wouldn't think so, but then again i don't know much about the SGI hardware.
they both have SE 332MB drives in the half-height bay under the floppy drive,
so that only helps confuse me more.  if one had all Diff i would have less of
a hard time believing it, but i just don't know what to make of this.

any ideas?

thanks,

-brian
