Sadly, not. Most of the later software was compiled for MIPS2 or
MIPS3/4 and that definitely won't run on an Indigo. MIPS2 would run on
an R4K machine, but only MIPS1 on an R3K.

use any kind of special memory?
Its my understanding that it uses SIMMS.
They're proprietary SIMMs with a completely different form-factor to
anything you'll find elsewhere. They also have a control ASIC on the SIMM.
