IRIX only runs on MIPS. Some other SVR3ish software I
can't
remember the
name of ran on the m68k boxes.
I talked to the guy who handles the IRIS 2000/3000 FAQ, and he seemed to
think that it was "IRIX." I would be interested if you find out more
details.

It was thus said that the Great Christopher Smith once stated:
SGI was formed in the 80s and at that time, they used the 68K for their
systems. By the late 80s/early 90s they had moved over to the MIPS
architecture, so I assume that early versions of IRIX where for the 68K and
possibly for both (during the transition phase).
-spc (Used IRIX in the early 90s and kind of like it ... )

On a side note (like everything else on this list) I saw
a pile of Indy at the UW-Madison (WI) surplus sale last week.
Someone said they were fully loaded 100 Mhz systems.
$25 each. However, having previously checked the sale
manifest and checking prices on eBay, I was saddened to
see that Indys go for about $50. It also looked like
you could pull the 72-pin RAM and sell it alone for
more than that.
