I think this is unfortunately just a name clash. SGI's first generations of machines was called "IRIS" and ran an operating system called "GL2-WX.Y" where X.Y is a version number. GL-W2 is a System III unix port. The graphics subsystem was called "IRIS Graphics" Start reading here for mor info: http://www.sgistuff.net/hardware/systems/index.html > This catches my attention, and I just want to make certain that this isn't > related to what I've been working on. I'm quite certain it isn't. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong, maybe Convergent rebranded SGI's machines. It is not unheard of: http://hardware.majix.org/computers/sgi.iris/iris3130.shtml > Maybe it's just a coincidence, because I've been restoring an IRIS OS (from > Point 4), and independently, the Convergent Technologies Mightyframe, which > is a 68k system.
