Hi everybody,
I have -- in various stages of repair -- three MIPS RISComputers. The
model is M/120. I'm in need of an operating system (and maybe even
software :) that will run on these.
RISC/os is what you want. It's a
derivative of BSD, iirc.
They were given to me without hard drives. Any ideas?
Any SCSI-1 drive should work. 50 pin headers.
One of them has two or three (don't remember) RAM
boards, and one has
five. The third has no RAM, and I wonder whether I could divide the
boards between them and still have something reasonable.
The boards are 8 mb each.
IMHO, with the noise these things make, put all the RAM boards you can
(max 6) into one of them, and use it. Others serving as spare parts.
