Hi,

I am searching for a CDROM to install my Indigo 3K with. (as you may know, the Indigo 3K is picky about CDROMs)

Thanks TOM:-)

It's a pre-ARCS machine, so any disk that will work in the other 4Ds will work in it.

One good (but slow) one that pops up (fairly) often is the Toshiba XM-4101, AKA the Sun SL-CD or SPARCstation internal CD-ROM. It's got the jumpers to select firmware - solder in switches and you have a rugged and almost-universal "old computer CD-ROM drive" I don't think it works for IBM RS/6000, but that's about it.
