I've got at least one of almost
every early box SGI produced: PI, Indigo, Indigo2, Indy, O2, Octane, Octane2,
Crimson, Onyx RE2, Onyx IR
Hopefully someone will save examples of the 4D series and the software
for them.
I think there are still a few of the 68k machines around (though probably
none the earliest of the 1xxx series with CPUs based on the SUN design.
It may be time to put up the docs on the 68K machines that I've had buried
in storage along with a copy of the SGI 68K FAQ I helped with years ago.

I'm wrokgin with an SGI collector to obtain his complete line of SGI
machines for my graphics museum I hope to build in Salt Lake sometime.
The logistics are going to be pretty hairy as I think its going to top
out at 2,500 lbs shipping weight!

We've got a 4D/25, 4D/35 (Elan graphics), and a 4D/90 (I think!) on the way
when I get back to the UK and pick it up. Three or four Indys are kicking
around too, and a couple of Indigos - but that's the extent of our SGI
collection at the moment.

Now that would be a nice find - although I doubt any of the 68k boxes ever
made it to the UK side of the pond :(

My PI is a 4D/25 with the Turbo Graphics option (highest graphics option
available for the 4D/25). It's OS is IRIX 5.3.
I have the IRIX 5.3, IRIX 5.3 patch/updates, Development Kit, etc. on CDs
and/or my RAID 5 array. I think I also have an IRIX 5.2 CD...
Cheers,
