Recommendations sought: Ram & HD $$ for SGI/RS-6000, & 9-tracks drives

[Robert Lansdale]

	I'm seeking some recommendations on prices for 16/32 Mb of ram 
and 500Mb/1.2Gb hark disks for SGI (4D/24, 4D/70) and RS/6000 machines. I would
also like to get some feedback on low-cost 9-track tape drives.

	For rams, I have only had luck with the RS/6000, being quoted the
following prices:

	16Mb = $2900, 32Mb = $6400	- Castlerock Inc.
	16Mb = $2250, 32Mb = $4500, 64Mb = $8500  - First Source International

	For hard disks, what is the most reliable and affordable drive with
500 to 1200Mb? Fujitsu seems to come up alot in conversations.

	And for 9-track, I am looking for a low-cost drive for an Iris
to transfer files with an IBM PC that has a similar tape format.

	And info would be appreciated. Thanks.
