Man, I've not fired up my I2 R10000 and Indy R5000
for a good decade. Twas
such a great desktop compared to others of the day, even well after. I
actually still miss many of the aspects of simplicity. And the graphics
effects were spectacular. I should see if I can dig them up and get them
going. I remember that there were freeware companion CDs out for them, but
obviously you'd want to build new now. Do any of the open source projects
still bother with IRIX, even if it's at latest 6.5.22?
thx

I need to put the two-proc module in my Octane and fire it up. Anyone know
of the top of his/her head if I have to reinstall IRIX, or does it pick up
on the multiproc config at boot and Do The Right Thing? Or do I just need
to RTFM?
