Looks like someone is butchering an IRIS 3000. You don't see many of these anymore, so if you own an IRIS 3000 and you're willing to gamble that any of this works, go for it:

You may have to convince the seller to ship outside France.

I have contacted the person to have hi res picture.

I will certainly take some of them if nobody is bidding. If one day I can have an Iris3000 (I can dream...) or helping someone.

I have a working (last time I tested :) ) 3110. Quite pricey to pick all these for spares :S

Edit: I'll pass on these boards.

It should be said that only two of the auctions actually contain IRIS boards. The other boards aren't SGI-related at all.

Normally they were Iris board (maybe only one not but I'm not sure), I have compared to all hi res photo of Sgistuff website, you have Ethernet Excellan option card, Storage, Ip2, Fp1, BP3, DC4 etc..

I stand corrected. I didn't look closely enough at the pictures. Yes, there is an EXOS 201 and a DSD Storager. The auction which shows only the closeup of two Weitek chips is actually an FP1. One might be an EXOS 101, which is not used in the IRIS 2000 or 3000, and there are a couple still I don't recognize, though they probably do come from an IRIS after all. There doesn't seem to be a GF board present, so no geometry engines.

My knowledge of IRIS 3000 is quite slim and rusty. Was there a SCSI interface (and is there one in these auctions)? I'm quite scared that the ESDI disks in my machine will die any day.

Odd that the seller took off the extensions, since they're a big help in fitting boards into the double-deep IRIS.

68k-IRIS never shipped with SCSI, only ST506 (with RLL I think) style and ESDI.

Had the Interphase ESDI controller in my 3030

Straight MFM, not RLL. Also, SMD disks are supported (from the rackmount chassis). I forget what controller it is (some variety of Interphase) and I suspect nobody cares, so I'm not going to look it up. Shit, yes I am... IP2190.

No SCSI though. Third party... maybe. But you'd need a driver tape to make it work. The board itself would not be enough.

Y'all are making me nostalgic for my 3130... :(

(Which had an ESDI controller and a pair of Hitachi DK51_ drives - ~170MB each? I forget, it was reasonable and at the time (~1990) it was even conceivable to get some branch new 300 or 600MB ESDI drives to upgrade. Sigh. mex ftw!)
