Wrong Label on SGI DVDROMs

A minor point to note. I discovered this week that alongside the AV module for O2 and certain other items,
SGI sometimes deliberately used the wrong label on DVDROM units. I found a Toshiba 1401 DVDROM 10X
which showed up via scsicontrol as the better 1711 12X model. Sure enough, the part number on the unit
was a thin sticker placed on top of the main label; a bit of label remover and voila, underneath it did say 1711.
On the front there was a 2nd thin sticker with the PN for the 1401 model, so I removed that aswell.

So, ya never know, that 1401 you were looking at might just be a 1711 afterall... :)

Ian.
