  I have a FDDI board in my Indy to get nice and

 I've got one of these in my Challenge S and two more for my Indigo 2s.

  But alas, I currently don't have the appropriate
cabling on the
 external side complete. 
I've got single-attached ones in two Indys and dual-attached in my
Origin2000 and also a Newbridge ATM-FDDI bridge.  You can also get
dual-attached interfaces for Indys but I've never seen one :-(  I do
have the cables, though.

 32MB. I think there won't be a trick as there is with R10K Indivo 2s. 
Yes, that's right.  I have 256MB total (8 x 32MB) in two of mine, and I
know of someone who bought 64MB SIMMs and was told by SGI that the
reason his Indy wouldn't work was that it won't recognise anything that
big.
