They are very nice machines. Built like tanks.
Even a defunct one

Except the
PSUs. I think I am now past a dozen Indigos with blowen up
PSUs. A friend with experience in repairing SM-PSUs tried to fix the
PSUs once - and finaly gave up. Fortunately it is not hard to replace

SGI hardware is nice, but quirky.
I'm glad my little web page came in useful :-)
The machine that PSU is in is a R4400, full memory, Elan graphics, fast
9GB drive. Been running fine for years.
If anyone repairs an existing PSU and manages to fill in the missing
pins (A,B & C) on my pinout I'd be happy to update the site.
