Posting from my little O2. Got my 1600SW card installed and connected up. Wow! Just wow!

Best money I've spent on any SGI graphics thing so far. I'm impressed with the scrolling and general behavior with this. I think I might need some software to control the monitor (no CD included, my board was a used pull).

Photo, also shows my new workspace for the hobby computers. Nine feet of countertop, and it's already a disaster zone. Do not give me any flat surface if don't want it covered in stuffs. A few projects on either side too.

The Indigo2s came along with an Indigo from craigslist. I'm probably going to clean up the one with the purple door and then find it a new home. The other is in quite nice shape, I have some upgrades for it and then it will be my green i2 example.

Yes, the 1600SW has a resolution of 1600x1024 in about 17-18 inches. While it's slow and has a narrow viewing angle these days, it still has one of the highest DPIs on LCDs.

It does appear that way doesn't it. He jumped on the counter and I thought it'd be nice if he made an appearance in the photo. This is the best I could get from him. There were so many more interesting things to sniff.

Nothing too special. IBM PS/2 Model 56slc. An IBM made 386/sx that isn't quite as bad as a regular Intel 386/sx. I'd actually like it gone...including the clicky Model M keyboard and old monitor.

Yes, because I'm not a huge Model M fan, it doesn't have the "Windows" key which makes it useless for my Mac, and nearly useless for a Windows computer. The market for them seems to have taken a dip on ebay. If bundling the setup gets someone to come and take the whole set from me on craigslist, well then I don't have to load it up and take it to the recyclers.

Meanwhile I'll continue to load up NIBBLES.BAS and play on it.
