Just out of curiosity, does anyone here have a 4D/60? That would make the oldest MIPS machine out of SGI.... and the oldest to run IRIX in its early stages, if I'm not mistaken...

wolflord, any chance you have pictures of that one up somewhere? i'm not sure if you'd put any in the gallery... real vintage piece of gear, after all...

edit: seen, they are there, in the hardware gallery. nice beast! what irix version do you run on it?

It's running 4.0.5F and does so quite well. I was oh so lucky to manage to get the OS and compiler tapes with it when I bought it. The main hd was completely dead, the rest of the hardware is pretty much original. There's a hinv of it in the hinv section too.
