I have added several drives to PI's and would agree that its fairly
easy.  Just wanted to give an "atta-boy" to SGI in this area.  I
recently added two 1.2 Gbyte drives to a SparcStation and it was not
*nearly* so obvious what to do.  The Sun "format" routine seems quite
primitive and brain-damaged compared to "fx".  The SCSI port
restrictions also seem unnecessary.  Have to use Suns because of
software considerations, alas!
