XL's I've got; the LCD matches the one on the smaller, deskside Onyx I
think.
It was recovered from an SGI dumpster, and probably is a prototype
machine. Unfortunately, the graphics part seems to have some problem
that keeps the machine from coming up when it's attached to the system.
Still, being a prototype/engineering test system does count for something
even if it's not 100% working. :)

Sigh, we got offered an Onyx dual-pipe IR a while back - 24 x R10k
CPUs and 4GB of RAM on it plus Sirius video as I recall. Unfortunately
I couldn't persuade anyone else at the museum that it'd be a fun
machine to have :-( On Jan 3, 2007, at 1:18 PM, Richard wrote:
Sweet, that makes three of us who have this configuration! Any other Onyx owners on the list?
Yes. I have a deskside RE2, and a rackmount dual-pipe IR.
