Yeah, from what I could tell as long as you had bona-fide router
boards (not null router or star router) then you should be able to
connect Onyx2K modules together into a larger fabric. Unless the
default midplane doesn't support this, I don't see why it wouldn't
work.
It seems the essential difference between an Onyx2 deskside and the
Origin 2000 deskside is the midplane and the board set. Can anyone
confirm that?

The manual I'm reading says that Origin 2000
machines can't be
connected by CrayLink cables, but this seems to contradict what I see
in the box (i.e. it has two router cards with CrayLink connections).
What's the straight dope on that?
I can't tell you the straight dope, but I can tell you that *my*
machine was indeed connected that way (dual-chassis) until I sent
half of it to Sridhar.
