Indeed, it is mighty pretty too! Mine is the
"server" model, going by
the label on top, yet it has a 13W3 graphics card. I believe the
Server had no gfx at all?
As I understand it, that's correct. But on these systems you can add
a graphics card to it.
Is yours marked "Jurassic Classic"? Mine is :-)
I've got a dead Iris 410/VGXT downstairs. Wonder
if I can transplant
the gfx board from that into the Crimson?
Oh, a VGXT. I've wanted one of those in my collection as its the
first SGI machine with hardware texture. I'm still fuzzy on what the
difference is between a Crimson and a VGXT, aside from the graphics
bits.
Anyone tried to use external SCSI on a Crimson (or
Iris?)
I haven't tried it yet on any of my machines, but I'd be interested to
hear the results of debugging your issue if you get it working.
Is it possible that the SCSI device IDs are fixed and that's why
connecting an external device makes your HD disappear?
