Welcome!

[onre]

Greetings, fellow SGI enthusiasts!

This is the place for us to discuss SGI hardware, software, emulation
and porting. No holds are barred - all kinds of SGI related discussion
is welcome. We share knowledge, debug stuff together and aim to get
stuff working. The other services provided include a Wiki for
archiving the collective wisdom, a boundless disk surface to share
binaries we've gotten to run, and finally a Discord chat room.

Vintage computing in general obviously isn't alien to us - probably
not for you, either. That's why we've got forums for non-SGI stuff as
well so you can discuss your favourite piece of computing awesomeness
from bygone days with us.

Also, we are human beings, just like you - and if you aren't, that's
even more cool! There's more to life than just hacking on stuff, and
that's why at the offtopic subforum we get to know each other and
discuss whatever topics we like in a friendly and respectful
atmosphere.

I am human, and I approve of this message. Also, IRIX.

Edit: With apologies, I no longer wish to have involvement with SGUG or SGI communities in general,
and have also chosen to remove all of my content. Many things have changed since I co-founded, named, and ultimately
then left SGUG. There are many good people around, to whom I apologize for frustrating by removing these things, and
also many petty people that over the years whittled down both the enjoyment as well as sense of obligation I used to
feel to anyone else regarding what was ultimately just a hobby. Unfortunately one of the latter now writes the rules
and so it is time for me to take my things and go.

This message will replace all of my previous forum posts because deleting threads that I started would have removed
other peoples' posts.

Nice to see this place Up

I like the look & feel of this forum, it's neat and fast! It's several light years ahead of things like phpbb2 stuff, features (like "insert-link") are really comfortable and 8bit-like icons look really nice!

Well done, Mr. designer!

Hope there would be collaborations with DTB, which is uglier and more focused on HackADay alike gallery of projects made on Linux and on metal bare MPUs.

I think mixing Linux with Irix is possible and interesting, so just in case, initiatives are welcomed there.

Welcome @jdhadwin!

Regarding the serial number, you might start a separate thread about that and tag @Unxmaal. I don't know if he has any solutions but I believe he has been looking at similar things on an O350, and others might have some ideas as well.

Thanks Elf, I created a new thread and went ahead and deleted the post I put in here. Looking forward to getting to know you guys

Hi Guys, glad to meet you all.

Currently trying to check out and restore an Indigo 2 Extreme to its former glory. I am a complete noob when it comes to the SGI so it will be nice to talk to people with experences with this machine.

In the last year I have been restoring other vintage machines and felt it was time to give the SGI some TLC as its sat in the cupboard for the last 15yrs or more. However, time is not kind to this machine, and I hope to share my findings as I found a few horrors you maybe be able to figure out.

Cheers
