Third Party CD-ROM Suppliers for SGI's

Here is a list of third party CD-ROM suppliers I have compiled from comp.sys.sgi.*/info-iris-* messages. All comments are from the original poster. For information on what kind of successes and failures people are having with various 3rd party CD-ROM drives on SGI's, check out Working CD-ROM Drive Poll Results for SGI's.

If any one has any updated information, changes, or corrections, please let me know. I try to only keep a list of company names that end users have actually purchased equipment from and are satisfied with that company's products and service. If you have problems with a company, let me know and I'll see about dropping them from the list.

     Falcon's service became nonexistent.  They don't return calls and
	can't get quotes right.  Others have noticed the same thing.
	Don't know if the new Artecon management has changed things any.
