Hi!
This probably doesn't count as true vintage, since it's circa 1992 and is a
32-bit workstation. But it's an awesome score for something local to Indianapolis and
as complete as it is, so I must brag.
I just scored an SGI Indigo Iris, complete, with keyboard, mouse, 19" beige SGI
monitor, two internal hard drives, floppy drive, DDS tape drive, and external CD-ROM, plus
boxes full of software and books. It's a 33Mhz 16M system with an R3000 w/ math
coprocessor.
The stuff that came with it is even more interesting.
The books include the full SGI document set; Iris software guide, Iris owners guide,
programming guide, network programming guide, compiler guide, ANSI C transition guide, C
language guide, C++ programming guide, (again, all SGI-branded.) There are also AT&T
C++ Library guides, still in the shrink-wrap. There is also some vintage O'Rielly
books like learning vi, the X11 programming manual. There are also two OSF/1 Motif
programming manuals (Programmers guide, style guide.)
Also included are guides for SoftPC AT, allowing up to a 286 to be run under Irix. I
believe this is installed on the system but I have yet to test/verify.
There are even more books, which are water damaged :(
CDs include IRIX 4.0.5, IRIX 4.0.5 maintenance, Soft PC/AT 1.1, Hot Mix 1-6, and a few
other odds and ends.
Is any of this stuff BitSavers or the document archive website(s) would be interested
in?
I can't speak /for/ BitSavers, but I'd like to see that stuff on
BitSavers. ;)
Now I want to get my Indy fixed up and working!
