Is an Indy on-topic? I thought they were from about 1994-95... Though, an
Indigo is old enough and it will run 6.5, but not well ;) the quote I've
heard applied to it is "slower then pissing tar", I believe...

Uh, Maybe 'slower than pissing tar' on a R4000. But my R4600SC is pretty
zippy in 6.5.

I don't believe they ever made an R4600 Indigo. Just R3000 and R4000.

Hmmmm. I can remember somthing like that it is possible to put the

Indigo2s are quite common....

Are Personal Irises good for anything? I've got two, a 25 and a 35 and
they seem to work but I don't have a monitor or keyboard for either. I'd
love to run IRIX or anything on them to round out my super-heterogeneous

New subject: Indigos and such (Was Re: IRIX)
It was thus said that the Great Jason McBrien once stated:

network.
I used a Personal Iris 4D 35 at school. It came with IRIX 3.3.2 which
used NeWS (Network Window System) for the GUI which was quite fast (despite
being based on PostScript) and easily extensible, but that was the last
version of IRIX that supported NeWS. The next version, 4.0.x, dropped NeWS
in favor of the X Windowing System.
Now, outside the GUI, there weren't many other differences between 3.3.x
and 4.0.x (I think the machine I used ended up running 4.0.5). I'm not sure
what versions of IRIX past that would work, but if at all possible, skip the
5.x series of IRIX which sucked horribly.
Now, the hardware ...
I was not impressed with the hardware after four to five years of use.
The graphics board had to be replaced, the fan unit was replaced three
times, and the color monitor displayed graphics with a distinct shade of
green.
The ANSI-C compiler, however, rocked.

Try to get
a keyboard and a mouse. They are special, not PS/2 like on
the Indigo^2. The /35 is nice. It is the fastest model and comes with 16
bit stereo audio. Have a look at:

Install IRIX 4.x. If the machines have enough RAM you
will get a very
nice workstation with (for that time) surprising "multi media" features.

I've got three "new" boxes of the HP 82931A Thermal Paper, each

The weight of each box is about 3.5 pounds.

IIRC that's the stuff that's about 5" wide and 4" in diameter and fits
the HP-85.

Thanks, I should have mentioned that <sigh>. Anyway, nobody expressed
any interest and they will go on ebay tomorrow if I don't hear anything
from listmembers.
