I am still in the process of installing IRIX over the network to the one good 9gb HDD I have in one of my two Octanes.  This lead me to a few questions about purchasing SCSI equipment and disks for my machines:

- If I want to run solid-state disks, say an SD card or SATA SSD, natively inside the front bay of the Octanes, what are my options?
- I want to install some software from CDs but lack an external SCSI CD / DVD reader.  Are there known compatible external players I can look for?
- I have been following a guide for net-installing IRIX, is there such a guide also for netbooting the machine? I'd prefer to go diskless.

Thanks!
