There is no active opposition to doing a port for the older SGI systems.
However, it would end up being a totally different platform, being a 32
bit processor, rather than the (supported) 64 bit. And of course,
someone has to do it. There is no time schedule. There won't be a time
schedule until it is basically done.
I know under IRIX the O2 runs in 32bit mode as does the Ind(y|go[2]). I
assume the sgi port for OpenBSD is build for MIPS IV (R5000+), this
would prevent it from running on R4000/R4400 Ind(y|igo[2])s. IIR the
R4000 and higher (MIPS III) are 64bit capable CPUs and could probably be
supported with relative ease. I have an older Indy (R4x00) I will donate
if someone wants to add support for the Ind(y|ingo2).
