The collected works of Hakimoto - Page 2

Sat, I meant to take pictures of the inside of the machine. ;-) Maybe on the web or you can ftp them to me, and i'll host them... :-) Want a look inside!

Sat, I'll send you a PM later (hakimoto writes it down) for ftp access to my Intergraph machine.

IIRC the dip switches are only effective for Pentium II CPUs, starting from Pentium III in a 320 MoBo, the only thing you need to have to run fine in higher dual configs is a 8.2 / 8.3 or even 8.4 VRM.

That's a good question, nonetheless, since yes, certain graphics cards need large chunks of the system reinstalled (eoe.sw.gfx, I believe), so I would also like to know, from one of our double and triple headers if they had any problems during their set-up. Thanks already.

I hardly ever drink, but if I do:

- Amaretto with milk and ice
- Drambuie (yum!)
- G & T
- Kriek (Belgian cherry beer)
What I'm asking myself, dexter1, is if they're really still making Absinth with Artemisia absinthum or some other stuff like sage.
Dex, sure I would next time we see each other. Though only one shot! ;-)

I remember that wormwood by itself tastes like chewing gum...
thegoldbug, shame you're stateside, I would have loved that book.

Everyone, since I got the envisioned HP LaserJet Printer (4+) with 100MB Ethernet module for free (yes!) today, I was able to use the 60 (ok 69) Euros to order a new laptop harddrive (30 GB, 5400 rpm, 8 MB cache), and once I got that I will install Zeta. I have RC3 here, and I'm dying to try it out.

Ah.. Aleph One! I saw that again the other day. Would be sweet to have. Since we have neko_SDL now it should be workable...
zafunk: check your PMs please.

Another one... I'm gonna put gentoo, zeta and THAT on my laptop. Just have to find a common supported file system for the data sharing.

This is quasi-closed-source isn't it? I saw some screenies on Zeta the other day (my girlfriend's laptop is running Zeta RC3 now, sweet by the way, but it has some issues...), looked pretty cool to me.

What is BOINC?
Yeah, I think we all agree that paint jobs on our machines should be reserved only for extreme cases, but I can't help (ok, it's overpriced, but then I already have an Octane) to think it looks nice in white... except for the stupid fan LED.
I was playing with zeta recently. It's nice, lots of cool software and stuff, but driver support is a pain still. Well... my girlie's laptop is running gentoo now.

Scott,

yeah, gentoo can be a pain to set up, but once it's done it's real sweet. I only ever used Debian and Gentoo. I like the idea of a fully optimised system, that's why these days I always go the gentoo way.

I agree, but then again, this is Nekochan.net and not some freaky linux forum. ;-) And thanks to all our nice members I also got my Linux questions answered when I had any. Oh... feels good around here.

Shot in the dark, but check that the factory test jumper is not set. I've had Toshiba's behave strangely on me because of that.

I have xcdroast on my porting list. will try and get to it one of these days. HyCD is roughly 1300 US$.
jimmer,

very nice work. It will do wonders on the girlie's R5k Indy with attached CDRW drive.

Yeah, but what's it with not being able to download the free QNX edition anymore? I checked the other day, but helas, no. Only the eval version. Where you get a licence key for 30 days.

h
zappa, I do have the old QNX release 6.1 (I think) personal edition and also a Momentics one. Will be installing them under vmWare on the Zx10 one of these days. I always liked QNX, it's kind of... slick.
Ah... so it's finally out? Great!
huh... new phpBB gadgetry? funny stuff...
You can try and compile gproftpd, the frontend to proftpd. That should run on IRIX with a bit of tweaking.
zappa,

link? i wanna read this in german please.
James,

the latest IDF and DL can be had from SGI directly, but they're probably quite expensive. They should come in a complete IRIX set, a later one, say .23 or so, which can be had from SGI or other resellers.
That's a good point. My bad.
I've sen Vista run yesterday. Jeez, what a bunch of shait. It's the same as XP except heavier and uglier.

CVisual, search the forums, I believe Dr Queue came up in a separate thread just a little time ago and someone actually got it to run under IRIX. HTH.

Please, no, not even implicit, discussion of materials of questionable copyright or licence. Post edited.

will try...

Does anyone works with a LaCie CRT (ElectronBlue) on a O2?
or
Does anyone works with a LaCie CRT on any SGI beast?


no, at least not me, but see further down for more...

Reminds me of Minolta checking if the expensive negative scanner would work with 2000 advanced server. never called back those bastards... hehe

fu wrote: Is every MultiSync monitor also SOG capable?


no. clear no.

a) nada, nix, null: i just get a blank screen ?

b) kaboom! : you shouldn't try this @ home ?


iirc, you'll get a greentinted image at best, none at worst. no kaboom in the night. :)

The current, neko_bash, what has it been compiled with? I use it for a long time now, and i've not seen any problems in everyday usage, but then maybe this is specific mischief. in any case, it'd be good to know. and hell, maybe we need a recompile. :)
Dear all,

I've had to edit / delete / obfuscate a lot of posts lately that didn't respect neko's rule about no software or media offers and requests on the board.

Once and for all, software like IRIX, Discreet stuff etc. pp. may NOT be requested or offered for sale in any of the wanted / sale sections!

- except drivers sold with hardware items
- open source software / freeware
- IRIX installation on an SGI workstation for sale withOUT media

Please bear this in mind when posting, and don't do it unless you qualify for one of the exceptions above, the middle one is kind of moot anyways. Direct people offsite if you want to sell some 'further unidentified goodies'.

But please keep software requests OFF the board entirely.

If you don't agree with this rule, feel free to send hatemail via PM. :)

Cheerio,

The only meets to my knowledge were the ones for BeDeNeLux and the UK meeting (which also had grobarium coming all the way from the South East of Europe if I'm not mistaken).

A new meet would be great for sure.

Yeah, and Reunion is far away for sure. And it must cost a fortune to have stuff shipped there, right?
yeah, i second unixmuseum's statement. these days, you're hard pushed to find people who know what hp/ux / irix / aix etc are. if they know unix, it's either linux (and i'm not so sure that should qualify) or solaris.

but then again, soon we'll all be sequestered as mindslaves by the redmond monstah!!! aaaaargh...

<frantically tries to emigrate to siberia>

;-)

nah, seriously, i know quite a few people here in belgium that are moderately or quite unix savvy and when i tell them about IRIX their eyes go WIDE!! :shock:
