I have an SGI-compatible Toshiba drive here that I've used to
boot my Indy with. I haven't tried it on my Indigo2, but I imagine
it'll work.
The model number is TXM5401D1.
Note that the internal microcode may be SGI-specific. For one,
this thing plays digital audio via the SCSI bus, not the analogue
outputs!

Yes.
