- Keyboard adapter
Converts proprietary SGI keyboard/mouse interface to PS/2. Designed and sold by a fellow hobbyist (or build it yourself). - MC3 memory board with 1664 MB RAM
12 years later, all this fits on one DIMM... - I/O panel closeup
- MC3 view #2
- License manager
This system originally lived at UMBC and was owned by several other people before it was given to me. Unfortunately there do not appear to be any interesting software licenses installed. - Login
The system came with a mystery root password, so I had to boot an install CD and clear it out. - Boot messages on dumb terminal
The boot diagnostic messages don't show up on the screen and are sent out the first serial port. - SIMM
SGI proprietary (what, you expected standard parts?) - IP25 closeup
Note the multiple different styles of ASICs on the board, with dates ranging from 1992 to 1996 and a mix of newer and older packaging styles. When introduced, the Onyx came with a different CPU board designed around the R4000 processor. The IP25 is a redesigned CPU board that shoehorns the newer R10K processor into the older Onyx system architecture. - MC3 closeup
- One big happy family
R5K and R10K O2's, an R4600PC Indy, an R8K Indigo2 in a purple case (wtf) and Mr. Onyx. I also have a broken Onyx2 deskside that isn't in this picture. - DG4-8 board
This board was bad and replaced with a DG4-2 found on Ebay - System information screen
- Inst closeup
Dependency hell. This was worse in pre-6.5 versions of IRIX. - OH NOES! IT'S THE DREAD INST MONSTER! RUN!!!!
And you thought installing Linux was hard. Reinstalling the OS after installing bigger disks. The SGI install process is, to put it politely, somewhat counterintuitive.
