[rescue] SGI, Origin 200, and speed?

[Dave McGuire]

   "Decent PC server" is a double oxymoron.

   RAID options...hmm, there is a 68-pin SCSI port on the box, and three 
PCI slots into which you can plug supported FC adapters.  There are six 
internal drive bays, and there is a software RAID package available for 
IRIX.
