broken in one of them and I'll probably remove it
altogether since I don't
have a cam anyway but... the S-Video and Composite I/O jacks in the side
panel are covered with a square sheet of textured self-adhesive plastic.
The PCB silkscreening states they are Moosehead A/V modules and it looks
like no major components are missing from the boards so I hope the video
I/O will work once I pull the stickers off?
It sounds like you have the audio only A/V modules. This is what I have in
both of my SGI O2's. :^(
The SGI O2 is hands down one of the most impressive machines I own. Even
the one with the crappy R5kPC 180Mhz CPU and something like 160MB RAM
totally rocks. I have a second O2 with a R12k 270Mhz CPU that is really
awesome. It is a shame SGI killed the MIPS systems and IRIX. I'd love to
own something like the SGI Tezro workstation, but can't see spending any
more on the platform. I don't even remember the last time I powered one of
the systems up. :^(
Actually just thinking about this makes me want to find something to use my
R12k based O2 for.
