Does it swing with performance?

It's pretty skippy for a 20 year old machine. It's an octane 2 with a 400 Mhz processor.

Is there a way to browse SSL websites on this version of IRIX?

praetor, 10 months ago

Yup. We ported netsurf to IRIX a while ago which is a nice little browser that does SSL.

I have 2 octane's. Both would be better utilized as boat anchors. Cool to see one working!

praetor, 10 months ago

Well, git 'em fixed!

I would like to, that's why I bought them lol. It's just that those fragile connectors kinda freak me out and from what I read I need a special monitor? I don't know too much about SGI machines since most of my collection are IBM/IBM compats.

Looks nice! My old Octane has been sitting in its box since I sold my ex-ex-ex house in 2017. I know Nekochan is gone, so what’s the go-to place for software these days, Irixnet?

praetor, 10 months ago

SGUG is really the place https://SGI.sh

AHAHA. Gotta have the digital blasphemy background for the late 90s vibe!
