Hi all,
With my recently acquired o2 I was thinking: I do not use the cd-rom for anything. Since the cd-rom has a 50pin scsi connection cable up the top of the machine, would it be feasible to take the cd-rom out and putting a scsi2sd / zuluscsi / bluescsi in its place? I think this might be more useful because most IRIX software I can get would be disk images downloaded from the internet, which can be easily put on to an sd-card solution. I'll never have physical media.
I guess all I need to know is: 1. Can that work? 2. Does anyone think it's a silly idea and 3. I of course do not want to ruin the look of the o2, so any ideas around being able to re-attach the cd bezel, allowing me to pop my hand inside to change SD cards would be helpful.
