Anyone have access to an SGI personal IRIS? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

   Twenty-some years ago I wrote a program on an SGI
personal IRIS 4D-35
(33MHz R3000 system).  It took a hideously long time to run.  I recently
dusted off the code and started playing around with it and much to my
horror there were a few optimizations I missed, and now I'm curious
(probably not a good thing) as to how long the updated code would run on the
...
 system (we're talking "days to minutes"
type of optimization).

  Does anyone have access to such a system that would be willing to run the
code?  It's straight forward C code so it should compile without a problem.

 I have a Personal Iris that can be pulled out for use and be up in running
pretty quickly.
It's the 4D/20 so it's the slowest model they sold (12.5mhz) but it's
crammed with 64mb of ram which on its own caused a performance boost in Irix
4.0.5 from the 16mb that was originally in it and it's been fitted with the
Z-buffer, Bitplane and Turbo Graphics options. Failing that I have three
separate Indigos running R3000, R4000 and R4400 processors but they'll take
a bit longer to setup.
