I just went by the OSUsed surplus store and they had a bunch of Sun
gear and a few SGI boxes as well. I bet a lot will still be there next
week...

I don't know. A bunch of the Asian automakers are very heavily invested
in Altix systems for full body system dynamics analysis (engineering
analysis). If SGI can figure out how to cut some fat, and learn how to

Personally I'd have to say that Power PC is a compromise architecture,
and not a great one at that. It's not quite CISC and not quite RISC.
But rather something in between. The Specs aren't very good for
embedded work either. (Sorry Ben!) Generally when doing an embedded
design, the features re
POWER is a great platform though, and there are a bunch of non-IBM vendors making nice boards for the chipset. I also remember drooling, some years ago, when I found out that Xilinx had an FPGA that could run 4x PowerPC cores at 400MHz... Their specs look *great* on embedded platforms too (tempera

Is anyone from GWOB (geeks without borders) on this list?Does anyone have contact with them? They may also have a surplus of hardware that would be interesting to EUGLUG, and they may be willing to give/trade it to CRRC and/or trade for some misc tech work, or more certainly, those silly american
I don't know if they are still around but you might look up Bolis
Technologies. Last I saw they had an assload of sparq stations and such. Looked

quick google-check and lo and behold http://http://bolistech.com/!
Try hitting up a University surplus sale. They often have older
Sun/SGI/etc gear for sale super cheap.

I have Solaris 10 BTW.Garl,SGI isn't going to survive period. I am well aware that both Sparc and SGI/IRIX are endangered, that is why I want to tinker, while I still can. UNIX as we know it is dead, but I don't mind. I was just looking at some old Sun boxes at the Register Guard with Horst and tha
