Any other Onyx owners on the list?
I have an RE2 (in storage) and in my "shop" an Infinite Reality [w/(4)195MHz
processors, 1.5GB RAM, Sirius Video, ASO Audio, Dual 64MB RMs, 8 Channel DG].
I love my IR ;-)
Lyle, it sounds like you have exactly the same Onyx setup I just
acquired!
Onyx RE2, dunno the exact config yet
Onyx IR, Sirius Video, dunno what else yet exactly :-)
When I saw the Sirius Video box being auctioned in one lot, I gambled
that the Onyx had the Sirius board inside it (and it did). This came
from a TV station sale so I figured that it was used
for digital video
editing or the weather overlay presentation or some such. The
Onyx
has a couple SCSI drives, a Jaz drive, an 8mm tape drive and a CD-ROM
drive occupying all the bays. I see the Sirius rack mount box on ebay
sans the interface card quite a bit. (Don't you find it
simultaneously funny *and* sad when people yank the peripherals and
discard the cables and interface card? I mean, the peripheral box is
probably worthless without the interface card and vice-versa
considering that these are typically custom interface cards.)
The TV station Onyx has lint on all the air vents telling me that this
machine was on pretty much all the time :-). It will need a good
disassembling and cleaning/inspection before I power it on and see
what happens.
