Ach, my favorite SGI machine! It's just

Power Series (?) 4D/130 downstairs that I can't get going. Man is it
*heavy*...
Yup, a 4D/310 would be a Power Series machine. Any 3-digit IRIS 4D is
Power Series including the 64 bit Crimson hack (aka 4D/510). The two
digit IRIS 4D are either Personal Iris (brownish "bigtower") machines
(4D/2x or 4D/3x) or Professional Iris (the first SGI/MIPS machines).
What's wrong with your system aside from being way too heavy to lift
alone to the power outlet upstairs? Generally they're pretty sturdy
and don't go "beyond" that easy. ;-)
Did I ever mention my 230V vs. 110V mistake on the list where the PSU
went belly up halfway into the machines POST? The PSU is now on the
"needs to be repaired" stack, the 4D/420 VGX itself is alive and
kicking.
