Quick check on those: was it beige? The IRIS x000 series were the only
beige computers SGI produced.
If it was brown it's a 4D.
I want to say it was white, or at least very light beige.
They made them in 3 sizes, I've seen 2 (terminal and deskside)
The terminal could sit on your desk. 9 Multibus slots, no disks
The deskside is the most common- 20 Multibus slots, 2 5.25" FH HDD
positions and 1 5.25" FH removable-media position, along
with much dead space. Stands about 3' high.
The deskside sounds about right, however I want to say it was a 3' cube (it
was WIDE) which itsn't exactly what I've seen in pictures I've found on the
'net.
There are a number of people on the list with these, if you're interested
grab it.
I've already aquired a couple of Personal IRISes, an Indy and an Indigo2, so
I'm all set on the playing-around-with-IRIX front :)
