Basicly you need a nice 17" or better monitor bargain basement won't cut it. if your indy has XL video there is linux support. but if you have any other framebuffers then your best chance is finding a copy of IRIX. the biggest problem is if the drive is 4gig or smaller it uses 1k clusters when formated (unless IRIX was told to do otherwise) and linux XFS only supports 4k clusters. so the linux support is not availible. if it has IRIX 6.3 or earlier there is an explointable security whole that you can use to gain root access.. google on telnet exploit IRIX and you should find a link to a program that can exploit the hole. if you can gain access to the root account there are tools to make copies of the disk. or else you can do a copy of the disk by installing a second disk. ebay should have plenty of small 50 pin scsi disks that can be used for this for a few dollars. the disk can be copied in the bios.. just look up disk replication and there are documents on how to do this.
