OK, with my new Origin 2000 machines, I was thinking that I could use
these SGI drives+sleds that I had purchased previously, where the
seller said they would work in Onyx2/Origin machines. However, while
the sleds appear compatible, the drive interface is not.
Is there any online guide that compares the different drive sled
designs for SGI machines so that I can compare what's being offered on
ebay to identify the machines that can use it?
For instance, my drives have a high density connector that is only
about 1" long, but the Origin 2000 has a high density connector that
looks to be about 2-2.5" long.
Is my only recourse to scrape through individual manuals to try and
find diagrams?

Hi Richard
The ones I have seen take standars SCA drives ????
Power and data in the same connector ??? The Connector is a little more
rugged looking. same as a Later Sun.
