[rescue] SGI

[Thomas Pelki]

A couple of websites back what you are saying about the latest version of
IRIX for the Indigo2.

Mine came with a 9G drive, extreme graphics, an unknown amount of RAM, and
NO CD-ROM or CD-ROM Sled (hoping I can boot from a external Plextor CD-ROM
drive in a Sun 611 enclosure until I can track down the Sled).

I am still trying to decide what CPU mine has in it.

Does anybody know which SGI keyboard/mouse is supposed to originally come
with the indigo2 (teal)? I'm seeing multiple different keyboards and
multiple different mice. I am hoping to keep it OEM when it comes to the
keyboard and mouse without breaking the bank.

Does anybody have any suggested websites for trustworthy info on indigo2
and SGI in general? I'm new to tinkering in the SGI world but it keeps the
mind focused while I'm still fighting Cancer. It's not gonna win.
