You'll surely note my non-SCA option above. Though fingers crossed, it seems that tonight I talked someone into giving me an octane and some irix media, so the disks are now back in circulation for exchanging for toys or favours. the hatter

If you have 18GB or 36GB SCI drives for a reasonable price I may well be interested in those. How much?

[Advert] indy hardware for sale
Hi folks, in the next year or so i'll be moving house and my wife has suggested that if the new house could contain a single figure of computers that might be a good thing. So with the event of my new server going into a colo i'm looking to get rid of some stuff. One portion of this is my SGI indy hardware collection, which is as follows, Skinner - Indy R5000 150Mhz 128Mb 1.7Gb SCSI 24bit GFX Fowley - Indy R4600 133Mhz 28Mb 0.4Gb SCSI 8bit GFX Silicon Graphics 20" monitor Silicon Graphics 17" monitor 32Mb of SGI Memory Indycam 2 x Silicon Graphics Keyboard + Mouse Sets Fowley has been running very nicely as an X-server and runs just X and x2vnc and x2x quite nicely. Skinner has been running as a DNS and Jabber server. Both have been running Debian. However Skinner will not run as an X server currently under Debian as I don't believe the 24bit GFX card is supported yet so it might be better running Irix if you want a desktop. I already have someone interested in one of the machines and I'd like someone else to also be interested, and then we can divy the bits and bobs up between the 2 of you depending on your end use. I'm probably looking for about 120 quid in total for the above and would hope that all parties can figure how to split that up based on which machine and kit they get. I can also point interested parties in the direction of Irix media. Oh and buyer collects although i think the other party already has solved this so it might be good to talk to them nicely. Some of the less interesting stuff that I will be getting rid of includes, HP SureStore 2000 Tape Drive AIWA External SCSI CD-Rom (a buyer of one of the indys might like this, although both machines can install via the net thanks to their funky netboot proms) Sun Sparc Classic feel free to make an offer on any of this stuff.
