Hey All -
Longtime fan of SGI, and earlier this year I got the go-ahead from the wife to start collecting, so I now have three in my possession, an Indy, an O2 and an Indigo2.
The latest was the Indigo2 which was a bit of gamble - bought on ebay with no specs, turns out the only wrong was a crashed hdd. So I put a scsi2sd V6 in it, and everything seems ok, but when it boots, I get SCSI timeouts from devices 1-7. The SCSI2SD is the only thing in the system and the SD card is on device 1.
I managed to get IRIX installed, and everything works, but it takes about 15m to boot due to all the timeouts. Just wondering what I can do to fix that. I have no experience with SCSI devices, so I'm at a loss for what to try.
