Wow, thanks Rob, I appreciate that. The list got quiet, so I assumed no
one was able to help out.
I've found a guy on Nekochan who is going to sell me the electrical board
that sits in for the CC3 midplane on a single-phase unit, three power
boards (512x2 and two 505x2), a System Controller and a Main I/O breakout
for $115. Although, I have to say, if I can -really- hook up the crazy
machine using three single phase hots, I might save myself some dosh on
the midplane replacement.
I greatly appreciate your time and effort, though, to help out, Rob. I
don't suppose you have an RE2 Graphics I/O breakout, maybe we can still
jive on something?
Thank you!

You know,
it's ironic this topic has come up, as I'm currently
working on
converting my 3ph SGI Onyx to single phase and had looked into
static and
rotary phase convertors. Having never had any reason to look at one
before
I started anew - and decided quickly that they did not appear to be
safe
for computer use.
Did you ever get your necessary power boards? I pulled the three
boards from my stock, I just was trying to get to the front of my
Onyx to check part numbers for you. If you got them, I won't bother
then.
