Greetings all;
I picked up an SGI Onyx 10000 RE2 rack ("Terminator") last week from
surplus and, unfortunately, it appears I'm in the same boat as J Blaser -
Boeing used this machine as 'parts' for another.
I'm missing the Power Boards (I believe I need three) and the System
Controller. Also someone removed the Graphics and Main I/O panels...
violently, apparently, as the cable that goes from the DG2 (Display
Generator) to the breakout has part of the breakout PCB still attached to
the cable!
I see a main I/O panel on eBay right now relatively inexpensively, as well
as the graphics panel - but the Graphics I/O Panel is for an
InfiniteReality, not a RealityEngine2, and is no good to me, alas.
Many thanks to all;
JP Hindin

Couldn't you just pick up an IR boardset? I've seen them periodically
for not too much money.

Possibly - but I'd hate to go out and buy an entire GFX subsystem, when
all I need is a matching breakout :)
Keep in mind, I only paid $50 for the Onyx itself!
