Well, my latest toy is here, but it looks like I
screwed up a little when
I
picked up an IRIX CD for it. I got 'IRIX 5.3 for

I
need the plain vanilla 5.3 CD, or 5.3 XFS. Anyone
have one to trade? Or
maybe even 4.x?
Many of the ones listed as Indy-specific are merely lacking a boot file for
Indigo and earlier systems. I installed 5.3 onto the Indigos in the next
room from "IRIX 5.3 for Indy including R5000", having booted the miniroot
from an older release.
Also, if anyone has a source for 8MB simms, keyboards,
and mice I'd be
interested.
You can upgrade a 4MB SIMM to an 8MB one very easily -- just add the chips
and change one (? IIRC) SMD resistor.
