Re: [TCLUG:1943] Parts for SGI Iris Indigo (R3K)



ok, because I saw this machine (I think it was an indigo, but it might not have
been) in Owre hall at the U, they're redoing the building (most of the people
there moved into the BSBE building) so people put all their trash in the hall to
be thrown out.  I saw what I thought was an indigo, it was pretty much gutted,
but I salvaged a transceiver.  there was also an sca disk in it.  I wanted to
take the machine, but it was the size of a small fridge and prolly less powerful
than a 486 (it was over 10 years old).
