Hello Jay,
Regarding the simulated SCSI disk, hoping you can explain further.
The last time I had an IRIX based workstation on my desk was in 2007, and all
this SGI discussion has me wanting to go and hunt down a Fuel.
Curious how the simulated disk thing works.
Thank you,
Jerry
My coworker has a Fuel sitting on his desk here, I'm staring at it. There
is some sort of failure with mobo or power supply. He has a spare
motherboard for it, but I think he said it's PSU. Prob caps, is there a
known issue with them?
Also, I used nfs to get to ISO data of IRIX 6.5.2x updates for my Octane
and it worked fine. Flashbacks to my days as a sysad @ NASA in IRIX land,
and as a huge SGI fanboy...
