[cctalk] Re: The MAC at 40

I think now anyone that wants to look a bit more closely has a much better idea and context about what caused the Birth of the Mac. That story of "stolen from PARC" IMHO is just weak writing back when the Internet didn't have the info it has today which gives full context over what was going on.

Fidonet is def. a thing. There is a New Zealand group- FSXnet - that I found when researching how to actually _join_ a Fidonet network. Docs for this from the pov of someone that has never done it are few. I.E. it seem very hard to find direction to join into Fidonet unless you are already there

[cctalk] Re: 2 sets of IRIX, 2 Indys and I1

IRIX isn't node-locked or licensed. Just some versions of IRIX drop support for old systems. Google will tell you exactly what you can install on what. Indys can all take 6.5.22 (but will be slow). The MIPSpro C compilers were licensed w/ flex but Google is also your friend for that. Totally di

Elan is a class of graphics chips in a given (early) SGI. It's the top level of the Express set. http://archive.irixnet.org/sgistuff/hardware/graphics/express.html I thought the end of SGI hinged on two things: banking on the

Re: SGI Indigo keyboard / mouse / converter wanted

There was a converter a few years ago that went from 'onyx' to PS/2. That seems to have vanished from ebay. I have some and they say "CKCOMPUTERSYSTEMS" on them - perhaps your friend can chase that down. The Drak goes to USB which may be better or worse than the CK adapter depending on your key

Re: SGI Indigo keyboard / mouse / converter wanted

Indigo1 is not PS/2, even though the connector looks that way. You need to have the "onxy" keyboard/mouse or get an adapter from Drakware. Plugging in a PS/2 device will harm the SGI and or the keyboard. https://www.drakware.com/shop/p/indigousb You c
