I am getting a bit annoyed by the "Will this work in ..." - This is definitly
not something which should be discusses in here (Although small amounts
of Off-Topic mails will be tolerated) ...

     Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?

I suppose then that you have some constructive comments on where that
fellow should go to ask such questions???  I for one have been answering
him off line to keep the traffic down because the questions fell into the
general knowledge category, but newbies have to learn somewhere...

Asking the same question over and over again is very anoying - A couple
of people have answered already that ANY SCSI Drive/CD-Rom will do fine
but it doesnt seem to reach the originator.

There have been lists concerning all aspects of SGI Systems
which should be called sgi-managers IIRC. 

This list is called "linux-mips" and from my opinion it deals
with the aspects of the Mips Port of Linux. And i dont
think that SCSI questions fall into that category.
As i already said - I am not annoyed by single Off-Topic mails
but repeated questions (read: forwarding of sell advertisements)
is not really something concerning the topic.
