Hi folks,
I recently acquired an Indigo2, but it doesn't have any input mechanism
(no floppy/cdrom). I know I can tftp boot it, but I'd like to have a
working cdrom drive attached to it.
All I have in the arena of external SCSI cdrom drives are Sun drives, and
they don't seem to work properly on the system at all (they definitely
don't boot). Googling led me to a lot of older information, I was hoping
the list would be a bit more up to date.
So, to sum up:
1. What is a good (and inexpensive) external SCSI cdrom drive to use with
my Indigo 2?
2. Can I reuse the Sun cdrom chassis for #1?
Thanks,
~spot
