Do you think Sun KB cables would work? Actually, I could probably just make
them as they use standard PS2 connectors... What do you think?
Yes, you could -- but don't use ordinary PS/2 ready-made cables as they
only have 4 or 5 pins connected, and the SGI systems use all six.

The Sun cables don't work, they are 8 pin.

from pccables.com, they have a cable that works and its
less than
$3 if I remember correctly.

New subject: Lots of Epson QX10 stuff, free for the taking!
Lots of Epson QX10 stuff -- about (8) systems, printers (if you want 'em),
cables, software. Some original boxes and documentation. I do know he has
Valdocs and CP/M, but I dunno what all he has.
Some works, some doesn't (you know the drill). The owner is willing to give
away free, provided you pick up.
I'd be willing to package things up and mail them and mail if you give me
enough of a sob story, but it's a pain -- but I don't want these to go in
the dumpster.
