Cool. From that era I'd guess you mean the Challenge S which was an Indy
without a framebuffer. There were Challenge series machines to match most
of the architectures before the O2. They were usually stripped down server
versions of whatever workstation was current. I still have a Challenge S
with a 200Mhz R4600 in it (fastest R4k). I use it as a web server. You can
also use the 180Mhz R5k in that guy. I love watching people try to hack it.
They get very confused (and doubtless quite frustrated).
I want to say it was a Challenge L, but could be misremembering. It was
big, not the S!
