I'm pretty sure I can put my hands on a complete set of the original Irix 6.5 
foundation CD's that you could borrow for a week or two.  

I also have an internal SCSI CD reader (50pin) that you could borrow, if it 
would be any good to you.  Not sure what speed, other than its a lot more 
than single speed.  I'm pretty sure it would work in an SGI system.  After 
all, SCSI is SCSI (usually) and it certainly works in a Linux system.
