- Can I use
a PC mouse/keyboard with that?
You cannot. You need to use a SGI keyboard and mouse. You can, of
course, access the box via serial console connected to a PC. But keep
in mind that it uses a mini-DIN 7pin connector (somewhat uncommen.)
Also the serial line driver isn't all that well-protected for
electrostatic discharges. I killed one and it was hard to find a new
driver chip...
A couple years ago I was able to buy a SGI to PS/2 mouse+keyboard
adapter. It would take some digging to find the source. Google is
probably a good start. It'll cost you more than the IRIS Indigo did,
of course.
