irix

A few days ago I discovered the protoweb project, which seeks to recreate the internet circa 1996-2003 or so. There are a fair number of sites recreated, including RuneScape.com complete with the original in-browser applet. Unfortunately, the applet does not play nicely with the version of...

Hello, We have a fairly early (~1998) SGI Octane running special software on top of IRIX that we would like to emulate for training purposes. I am wondering what the best/most cost-effective solution for pulling the image from the drive is - I think that it's a 2 gig disk. The machine is fully...

Hey everyone! I've been on the Discord server for a while but just found out about the forum. Would anyone here happen to know anything about WSI WeatherProducer 3.0 for IRIX? I'm part of the group that runs the Weather Channel hardware exhibit that's been at the most recent VCFs. I've been...

Hey guys new to the forum, Irix user since 2007. I've revived my old Fuel and while trying to use an old software I used to use and the runtime linker complains that library "libcomplib.sgimath.so" is missing. Indeed it is missing! Googling suggested that this library was distributed for free...

Hi! I have a O2 with Irix 6.5.14(?), and I have set up automount, portmap and NFS to automatically mount a remote NFS volume during boot. However, now my NFS server is no longer working and my O2 thus fails to boot up since its stuck trying to mount NFS. Is there a way to skip mounting remote...

Hi Just installed Irix 6.5.30 on my O2 using the guide in the sticky thread. Only thing is that NFS support is not installed. Trying to add a NFS folder via Network Manager gives an error that NFS subsystem is not installed. Trying with mount -t nfs gives an IO error. I tried installing NFS...

Hi I finally got my first SGI machine, an O2 with R10000 195MHz The machine is installed with IRIX 6.5.11 I've downloaded the 6.5.30 images from archive.org but I haven't used IRIX since university 20 years ago and I've never installed it. Can I use Software Manager to upgrade the install?

Can folks share their SCSI2SD configurations? XML configs or Screenshots appreciated. Any other tips or notes you've written for yourself. Please Share! Thanks. I've got a couple SCSI2SD but the process for configuring them is poorly documented. Especially with any SGI/IRIX quirks. I'd like to...

Hi All, My O2 Irix 6.5.30 install has MipsPro 7.2.1. I am transitioning from Arduino graphics to messing with graphics in C++ on IRIX. I want to use standard libraries to write simple graphics demos to start with. Executing opens a window, draws 2d lines, clears window, draws new 2d lines in...
