<SNIP> <SNIP> I think those are going to be collectable machines. I've been looking for a cheap one for a while. It's a really interesting architecture. Custom memory bus (== EXPENSIVE memory modules) Custom system bus and integrated video controller. These things were way ahead of anything else at the time, unfortunatly for SGI the PC hardware market catches up quickly and commodity PC hardware had the kind of bus speeds their workstations had within a year (RAMBUS, BOO! HISS!) As vertically marketed as they were they don't run anything other than Windows NT. I think there's a version of Linux floating around for them, and odds are NetBSD will at least boot on them (Horray for serial console! :) I've got Visual Studio 5 for PowerPC if you're interested... _________________________________________________________________ Watch the online reality show Mixed Messages with a friend and enter to win a trip to NY http://www.msnmessenger-download.click-url.com/go/onm00200497ave/direct/01/
