Sender: owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Date: Tue, 24 Jun 1997 12:38:39 -0400 (EDT) From: Alex deVries 1. Do Indy's come equipped with floppy drives? What are they? Is it possible to boot from them? Yes, they are SCSI floppy drives. 2. I know O2's have PCI busses with a custom controller. Do Indy's have this too? What is the name of this controller? It would seem reasonably easy to slap a PCI VGA card in there and port XFree86 to run on it. No, but I believe some models were produced with EISA slots on the motherboard. 3. Do Indy's ship with CDROMs? Can't answer this one personally.
