What is meant by "SGI-bootable CD-ROM drive"?

Technolust: The Indigo Page (Silicon Graphics - SGI)
Easy: the Indigo is only capable of booting from select CD-ROM drives. So if you are buying a CD-ROM drive for an Indigo, take care about which drive you purchase, depending on your needs. Essentially, for a drive to be bootable, it needs to be able to use a 512-byte block size. This usually isn't advertised as a feature, so you're better off going by brand and model.

How do I clean the lens of my CD-ROM drive?

Computer Doctor: Depending on what type of drive you have, the laser lens may be difficult to access. As a first step, try a cleaning CD sold in music departments.

If this doesn't work, you'll need to remove the drive from the system, then manually open the tray. The lens (optical pickup) mechanism should be visible. The lens is made of clear plastic and should be cleaned very gently.
