Hello all,
as I'm trying out some "new" old computers I got during the last few weeks,
I'm of course encountering new problems. I have spent some time with search engines
without major success, so I figured it would be okay to ask here.
Case one concerns the SGI O2 workstation. I pulled three of those out of a dumpster; they
only had a piece of the blue case plastic left on top and the base trays were broken as
well - even the CD bezels are missing. The chassis look pretty battered but the machines
power up, play their happy notes and enter the resident menu. Each has one disk tray but
the disks were probably ruined by being flung into the container. They also all have an
A/V module with the O2cam connector in the back panel. The connector is broken in one of
them and I'll probably remove it altogether since I don't have a cam anyway but...
the S-Video and Composite I/O jacks in the side panel are covered with a square sheet of
textured self-adhesive plastic. The PCB silkscreening states they are Moosehead A/V
modules and it looks like no major components are missing from the boards so I hope the
video I/O will work once I pull the stickers off?
TIA,
