IRIX...?

You musta got swept away in the updraft from Mary Poppins there and missed the Toolchest in the lower left corner :shock:
mapesdhs wrote: Just mkdir /CDROM2 manually?...

Can. And can forcibly mount it there also (or try, anyhow). Was mostly wondering if that is how Irix normally handles it ?
^^ Okay, thanks guys, that will be the next step.

I often do that. Kinda messy but you can sort of tell by the sound when you're hitting the sweet spot :)

:D It's pretty hard to read about Solomon Linda and retain much respect for copyright holders. Patents have also been really abused ... in many cases it's just legalized extortion. Or extortion through legality, to put it more accurately.

Anyway, I was thinking that before we got really carried away, someone with a late-model V12 and V10 and some Arctic Silver should pop the heat sinks off and check out the markings on the underling chips. Just in case they are different ....
Dr. Dave wrote: It just appears in the case of the late-model Fuel V10's that the 32MB vs. 128 MB board distinction went away over the life of the product.

.. and there was no slow ASIC, so all we're left with is an EEPROM difference, dui ma ?

What does the E in EEPROM mean ? :D
bri3d wrote: This is what I hope to turn my O350/Onyx system into - all I'm missing is my NUMALink cable (on the way), a V12 (to replace my V10), and a DM3

DM3 is the SDStationOEM ?

Ian, since you pulled the serial card, could you look and see what UART's it has ? Maybe 16550's ?

Funny. We used to sneer at the Communist Bloc countries that did that.

From what I see of Ozztralians in China, seems that Ozz has gone a little strange ? :shock:

Back (sort of) on subject, is it possible to Numalink an O300 to an O350 ? Or does the serial number thingy prevent that ?

Nifty. There ya go, wreck. Numa that new arrival on top of the previous O300's and you've got a big-ass deskside for scientific computing :)

Not to beat on the same tired old dead horse but a pervasively multi-threaded web browser would be an ideal application both for us elderly SGI fanboyz AND the new multi-core operators.

There's the incentive for more eeprom investigation ! You probably have 99.5% of a V12 right now.

Didn't PA evolve into the Alias Studio series, aimed at CAD? Design Studio, Surface Studio, etc. I have some
demo videos somewhere, and glossy brochures. When one executes Alias 11, it offers some of these packages
as startup options instead of the animation suites.

I know that the design guys at SRAM used to use Pro/e for the majority of their work, then do some of the surfacing in Design Studio and import. Since Wildfire improved the surfacing tools they skip using Design Studio now. My surfacing abilities suck so I can't comment.

For normal CAD, I tried once or twice and it was too strange.

The CD "written" on SATA is unreadable. Any SCSI experts can gather some clues from this ? It seems like it is close but jaan-jaap can save his virtual cigars still :(
There was this, but it seems to be gone now :(

You could try forcing each thread to its own CPU with pthread_setrunon_np() .

But isn't the operating system's scheduler normally better at this than letting every program arbitrarily decide what resources it wants to use ?

Since there's no graphics on an Origin, it's not like you're losing so much. I wonder if most exploits are operating system or application weaknesses, tho ? If it's applications then heck, we're already using the latest and greatest.

In a way that's annoying but in another way ... if they see enough value in the Irix desktop to restrict its use, then perhaps they also see some value in Irix. It's not impossible that some sort of very limited support for Irix fixes could be attempted. n-3, even ?
