Thanks to the nice Mr Mapleson, I'm now the happy owner of an Indigo2 - a system I've always wanted. Mine only has SolidIMPACT (High and Max are a bit too pricey for me). On the plus side, it does have a 100Mb NIC installed.

Anyway! Here's the hinv:

Code: Select all

FPU: MIPS R10010 Floating Point Chip Revision: 0.0
CPU: MIPS R10000 Processor Chip Revision: 2.5
1 195 MHZ IP28 Processor
Main memory size: 256 Mbytes
Secondary unified instruction/data cache size: 1 Mbyte
Instruction cache size: 32 Kbytes
Data cache size: 32 Kbytes
Integral SCSI controller 0: Version WD33C93B, revision D
Disk drive: unit 1 on SCSI controller 0
Integral SCSI controller 1: Version WD33C93B, revision D
On-board serial ports: 2
On-board bi-directional parallel port
Graphics board: Solid Impact
Integral Ethernet: ec0, version 1
Iris Audio Processor: version A2 revision 1.1.0
EISA bus: adapter 0


Next project (once the bits arrive) is to try and make the thing run a bit quieter. SolidIMPACT should be capable of being cooled by a fan with a slightly lower CFM rating - especially in northern Scotland! So, I've just bought a couple of nice Zalman fans for it. They still shift a fair bit of air and should make for a nice compromise. I'll update you with the results once they arrive!

Oh, and one final point: Any idea if compiling a custom VFO is the same for the Indigo2 as it was for my O2? Managed to get 1400x900 working on the O2, but I'm not sure if this might be beyond SolidIMPACT's capabilities.

An update: System now has 384MB of RAM. For some reason I forgot all this time that I have two Indys in the cupboard, both of which have 128MB of RAM in them (one of which has a dead PSU anyway), and my Indigo 2 had 8 free RAM slots in it still. So a quick swaparoo later and the Indigo 2 now has a bit more RAM to play with!

Other upgrades it's received since I originally posted the hinv are a 300GB secondary HDD, and a 32X CD drive. Still not found a nice cheap HighIMPACT or MaxIMPACT card yet though...
