Or a rather attractive (and, yes, very hard) crystal, known as carborundum, ruby, emerald, amethyst, etc depending on the impurities :-) The only place you'd get AlO2 (which is also white/clear, by the way) is as aluminate ions in solution. > So folks to don't understand chemistry invent the 'fungus' idea and off it > goes into urban legend-dom. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

SGI Indy

by jrice＠texoma.net

I've acquired a SGI Indy system complete with 21" monitor, keyboard and mouse (no IndyCam) but the hard drive has been wiped. Does anyone know where I might get a copy of the IRIX media or what are the licensing terms. Does the hardware come with the right to the OS like NeXT? Looks like a cool system if I can get it up and running. Also are flopptical disks still available?

Free transputer stuff...

by rmeenaks＠olf.com

Hi, In order to clean out my lab, I decided to give away the following transputer stuff. Yes, this is not much, but nevertheless, somebody is bound to need it: 4 boxes of original CSA transputer education kit software. This includes Occam-2 Compiler, LSC C compiler, Test software, Examples. All are sealed. This only includes the software and nothing else. Also, ONE PER PERSON. Also up for grabs is a set of INMOS ANSI C Compiler manuals. This is version D0214. A bit old, but still usable. Shipping/Pickup is from Long Island, NY....
