Hi everyone! First post wohoo!

I'm really interesting in testing out vintage 3D applications on SGI hardware, with the first release of Alias especially peaking my interest. How hard is it to find a copy of it and get it to run on say an O2?

Cheers!

very hard and it will not run on an o2. the oldest version you can run on an o2 is v7.

Older software need Irix 5.x as installed OS and O2 works only with Irix 6.x

Yes, found old software for test and preserve it's very interesting for me. The oldest Alias software I found is Alias3.

not as far as i know. there were significant changes between irix 3 and 4. most of the stuff made for 3 ran on 3 only.
