Got my 4D/25 TG running (Thanks, Robert) with a new 3010 FPU. I have
IRIX 5.3, but even in 32MB it's somewhat slow and a bit unstable. Has
anyone on the list used 4.0.5 or 3.3? I have talked with someone in the
area who has a set of 3.3 tapes, but I don't want to bother him if
there are usability issues, and I haven't talked with anyone about
4.0.5. Is there anyone who has used these? All i've seen are
screenshots and the fact that 3.3 is SysVr3+NeWS(?) and 4 is
SysVr3(+some r4)+X11, and that the IDO is needed for any practical
work. I have v5.3 & v6.5 Indigo2s, so I don't need it for 'serious'
work, just looking for recommendations & pointers.

I instaled 3.3, 4.0.5 and 5.3 on different
disks in my PI 4D35.
Everything runs fine and stable. But I must admit I haven't used this
machine much. Getting 3.3 on it was a bit cumbersome as I had only tape
images...

It was thus said that the Great Scott Quinn once stated:

I used both 3.3 and 4.0.5 on an Iris 4D/35 back in college (10+ years
ago). I *loved* 3.3 but it was rather difficult to compile anything using X
under that system. The switch to 4.0.5 meant I could then compile and use X
applications, but lost NeWS (which is an incredible windowing system---but
then again, my machine was one of a handful on campus that actually *ran*
NeWS, so I never got the change to really use it to its potential). Both
worked well with the 16M RAM I had in the machine.
-spc (Both should run winderfully on a 32M system ...)
