Well, poop.

I also have some sort of fiber-optic networking thing for the machine, but
neither FO cables nor a converter to turn that into 100baseT so I can use it
with the rest of my network.  There's a board, some bulkhead connectors, and
an external box that says "FDDI Dual Ring".  Is this something I should
investigate, or was it just another way to separate SGI customers from their
money?
