Well, my latest toy is here, but it looks like I
screwed up a little when
picked up an IRIX CD for it. I got 'IRIX 5.3 for Indy R4400 175MHz', but
according to
http://sgistuff.g-lenerz.de/ this version is Indy-specific--
need the plain vanilla 5.3 CD, or 5.3 XFS. Anyone have one to trade? Or
maybe even 4.x?
Many of the ones listed as Indy-specific are merely lacking a boot file for
Indigo and earlier systems. I installed 5.3 onto the Indigos in the next
room from "IRIX 5.3 for Indy including R5000", having booted the miniroot
from an older release.
It's my understanding that for the Impact systems and the
Indigo2's with the 250mhz R4400 (2MB cache) it takes a specific
versions with added support otherwise you get all kinds of errors?
Here are the versions I've identified for use on those systems:
- IRIX 5.3 All Indigo2 IMPACT (813-0119-010)
- IRIX 6.2 with Indigo2 IMPACT 10000 (813-0469-002)
IRIX 6.5 seems to be much more universal.
