Thank you very much, that's truly amazing! / Vielen dank, das ist wirklich wunderbar!
:Tezro: :Indigo2IMP: :Indigo2:

• Offering various remaining systems and parts, several interestingly compatible with both IRIX and OpenVMS ( AXP and I64 );
• Looking for an SGI O3000 IP59 1-GHz MIPS R16000 quad-processor node board (for a Tezro).
Yes,no problems! :)
I want to post the other 10 sites soon.

I have 3 or 4 others from this magazine,but not scanned at the moment.

Regards
Here the rest from the magazine!

Enjoy! :)
First of all, thanks for scanning these old magazines. Great stuff.

At the bottom of Gerhard Lenerz's page on the PowerSeries , there's a couple from scans from what appears to be Performer magazine.
I have a special interest in this issue, because I have the actual system described here in my collection...

Do you have this issue of Performer magazine too?
Now this is a deep dark secret, so everybody keep it quiet :)
It turns out that when reset, the WD33C93 defaults to a SCSI ID of 0, and it was simpler to leave it that way... -- Dave Olson, in comp.sys.sgi

Currently in commercial service: Image :Onyx2: (2x) :O3x02L:
In the museum : almost every MIPS/IRIX system.
Wanted : GM1 board for Professional Series GT graphics (030-0076-003, 030-0076-004)
I have only the Performer from 09/1992 , 12/1993 and 09/1994!

Do you know from which version is this page?

Regards
Well, I can only guess, but:

* This particular system has 33MHz IP7 boards. Support for 33MHz boards was introduced in IRIX 3.3, around 06/1990
* IIRC you need at least IP7 PROM rev 009 for 8-way systems like the 4D/380. This dates to 08/1990

This being the first one (in Germany, at least), I guess my 4D/380 dates to late 1990 / early 1991.

SGI - the legend will never die!!
Thanks for sharing, really like to explore the old CAD/CAM/CAE stuff especially if it was on IRIX! Those toys look really sexy! highly specialised, rare, expensive and built on quality. Today software makers could learn something from there either ;) )

It is amazing the amount of great software that was available for the SGIs. Thank you for sharing this! :)

Thanks for sharing, have been working with I-DEAS in IRIX for a long time, nice to see the beginnings of this
