Is there anyway I can obtain this media? I tried supportfolio they no longer distribute this which is to be expected

I have an R46k with 92mb of RAM so I can't run 6.5

I opened a ticket with Supportfolio and they advised me they no longer supported 6.2 / not possble to ship it out / download it from them.

eBay & co then. Whether that's legal depends largely on where you live.
To accentuate the special identity of the IRIS 4D/70, Silicon Graphics' designers selected a new color palette. The machine's coating blends dark grey, raspberry and beige colors into a pleasing harmony. ( IRIS 4D/70 Superworkstation Technical Report )

No way, no hell. SGI won't sell, or give licenses.

Seek elsewhere. Archive.org, Ebay, etc.
