[rescue] An SGI Visionquest

[Robert Darlington]

The keys between my two onyx desksides were different so you might be
better off replacing the key switch with one from Digikey or Mouser.
You can probably pick up a quad R10k board with memory on eBay for
under $100.

Also, I had to move mine into a car, across town, out of the car and
up a flight of stairs into my storage unit by myself.  It can be done!
