I won an SGI Personal Iris 4D/20 (1988!) workstation. I was the only
bidder and I picked it up for $40. The cosmetic condition is
excellent.
Honestly, I expected someone to come in and snipe me at the last
possible minute, so I increased my bid twice.
The hard drive will be wipe, so I nee to get an OS package for this,
which is probably as hard as finding the hardware. In several years
of watching ebay for SGI gear, this is the first time I've seen a
Personal Iris offered up, although I admit that I haven't had a
specific search for it, so one or two may have slipped through the
cracks.
Are the SGI collectors just out enjoying the nice weather?
Wow, that's a nice score! I spent a very long time developing
software on a 4D/25G, a later but very similar model, when it was
current.
