Silicon Graphics SGI IRIX 6.5.22 and 6.5.30 full CD set Collection

Silicon Graphics SGI IRIX 6.5.22 and 6.5.30 full CD set. Install instructions from Ian Mapleson from circa 2010-2012 included. Developer and Nekoware included. ISOs for CD burning and zip files for use with netboot NFS install included. You can setup a Linux box as a netboot/NFS server. There is also the Reanimator (https://github.com/Linux-RISC/Reanimator) you can use with a Raspberry Pi to install IRIX.

The 6.5.22 document can be used to install 6.5.30 by substituting the 3 Overlays, Applications, and Complimentary Application CDs for 6.5.30.

ZuluSCSI Wide SCA IRIX 6.5.30 Silicon Graphics SGI O2 image.

If you have an SGI Silicon Graphics O2 and have upgraded it with the ZuluSCSI Wide SCA, this is a 50GB (uncompressed) image of IRIX 6.5.30. It was customized with Ian Mapleson's instructions, which are also attached. Includes his customizations and optimizations. Developer packages installed. Nekoware CDs 1-5 installed, circa 2010. The image is 50GB uncompressed, but the used disk space is 10GB in IRIX.

2025-11-15 UPDATE Added SGIO2_Zulu_Full3.zip. Installed Quake 1 and 2. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator with hacks. All recommended O2 6.5.30 patches. Some other stuff. Takes up additional 1 GB of the disk space in the image.

Just wondering, why did you leave 40GB of the 50GB image unused? Surely you either use it (make the XFS drive use the full space) or just have a smaller image.

The full 50GB is formatted XFS. Just 10-11 GB is used, leaving the rest of the space free to install more software. I used a 256GB SD card so I made it big.
