After some cleaning and rearranging and tweaking, we now have a fully functional SGI R4400 Indigo 2 Max Impact system running alongside my R10K Indigo 2 High Impact system. So much IRIX! So many 3D! Textured polygons everywhere! Nearly $100,000 worth of computing power in 1996! (My phone has laughably more texture RAM these days…)
SGI stuff is pretty dangerous nostalgia for me because I did a lot of IRIX work at SGI really early on in my career and much of it is still bouncing around in the inner recesses of my brain.
