- Can I use
a PC mouse/keyboard with that?
You cannot. You need to use a SGI keyboard and mouse.
OK, good to know! There is a guy who sells adapters on ebay for $40.
(it connects to a standard PC kbd/mouse and adapts the signals for
the SGI). I haven't used one of these.
- Are the
monitor frequencies suitable for a modern PC monitor?
They aren't. It's sync-on-green, so you either need a good monitor and
you definitively need an adaptor.
Also good to know! (And the version of IRIX I'll need to hunt down.)
Thanks for the info!
