Not as a built in drive, but I did see one used as an external drive on a 3000.


I have the internal version of one of these drives, and I'm not sure it would even fit in a A3000D case. It was shipped on most SGI Indy pizza-boxes, back during their Jurassic Park glory days.  We used them a lot at work to transfer files on floppy to/from the SGI's, and were very happy with them until they burned out, but we never had or used the optical media. I got one in an Indy picked up, with a brand new pack of 3 optical disks!, but I have not tried the opticals yet since I only have that one drive  that can read or write  them.
