Actually, there is an X11 port of doom that runs on
SGI boxes, so
yeah, I could probably run doom on that once I get hard drives and an
OS on it. I don't think it would be lawnmower man style (god, what an
awful movie). LM came out in 1992 and the "Reality Monster" came out
in 1999. I guess that doesn't really make this machine "vintage" so
much as "discontinued". Still, getting 4 racks of SGI iron for $666
(the devil made me do it!) is a steal.
Richard, talking about graphics, how are the graphics subsystem
capabilities of these machines, compared with modern PCs with top-of-line
graphic cards?
This is something I always wanted to ask. I don't see a SGI near me for
some 15 years, these are **impossible** to be found in the junk market and
local e-bay (which is not called ebay, but
www.mercadolivre.com.br which
says is associated to ebay)
