Hello Jay, Regarding the simulated SCSI disk, hoping you can explain further. The last time I had an IRIX based workstation on my desk was in 2007, and all this SGI discussion has me wanting to go and hunt down a Fuel. Curious how the simulated disk thing works. Thank you, Jerry My coworker

Thanks for the comments. All this SGI discussion has me wanting to go out and hunt down a Fuel even more. It sounds like I need to focus on finding one with a rev-4 or better power supply. Its been some time since I have personally done any soldering. There's got to be some place, for a fee,

Yeah, the versions > 6.5.22 can be nice for a variety of reasons if you've got the later hardware. [I think the last one even had an almost-totally-working default DHCP config out-of-box. ;) ] I run it on systems where I can. 6.5.22 is nice because it doesn't have dependencies on some of the

Amazing, thank you! I just finished putting together my dream system from 1997 or so, an O2 with a 1600SW. I'm running the latest IRIX on there, but have been looking of the development overlays. On Tue, Jan 12, 2016 at 2:10 PM, geneb wrote: > > >

Thanks for the pointer. I have an INDY with no software (well, at least no convenient software - I have IRIX 5.22 as 3 tar.gz files. I guess I will need to drag it out and if it still runs, get it a simulated SCSI disk (I don't have any disks in mine). JRJ On 1/12/2016 2:10 PM, geneb wrote: >

Re: For you SGI fans...

I need to put the two-proc module in my Octane and fire it up. Anyone know of the top of his/her head if I have to reinstall IRIX, or does it pick up on the multiproc config at boot and Do The Right Thing? Or do I just need to RTFM? I can't remember any issue going from single CPU to 32. I

This is a great start, but I wouldn't install this version. Try to install the 6.5.22 overlay or greater. It does indeed require some disks from this media set, but is more compatible with newer open source software built for the platform. Installing 6.5.0 seems like a waste of time... On Tue,

Alright- I'm not gonna get into this- people on listservs will always get what they want to out of a message- usually the worst. I am gonna look for my 6.2 CDs for the guy who has a Crimson, but I fear they're 2000 miles away in Chicago-- sitting on top of my Crimson. :( I'll look around for
