I am a new nekochan member and a new IRIX user as I have just purchased a Fuel and now I am gathering all CD's that I might need in order to install IRIX and other apps.
Thank you for nekoware, forum and future help.

Wrote on the subject of Fuel 900MHz V10 1GB MAD DM10 at Feb. 9, 2015, 3:01 p.m...

I have studied this forum for knowing what to look for, but it was not cheap.
Actually I was just one second late and missed something that looked to be a quad 1GHz Tezro, fully equipped, V12, DCD, DM3, RAD, original OS, property of Autodesk stickers, for 700 USD + 200 USD shipping. Then I was so sad and bought the Fuel for the same price 700 + 200.
To justify the money and not cry for the Tezro, I am saying to myself that Fuel is much nicer than Tezro.
But I should not complain about costs because I plan an important business with it, like enjoying music and anime episodes.

I have not checked if the Firewire card works for something. I think that I have to install some drivers for it.

I was presuming that the Tezro makes just a little more noise than Fuel.
But from what you are saying, Tezro is more like a turbojet engine.

The Firewire card gives some errors on console output. I am writing them approximatively, not exact copy.

When IRIX is loading there are the following errors:
fire_atach failure
fire_check SCLK not started

When I connect a Fiewire DVD drive, there are the following errors:
Firewire PHY_write_error (SCLK not started)
FW bus is looped back in a unusable state.

The ATEN Firewire is not compatible, or faulty ?
The truth is that I do not care too much about the Firewire card because I was reading that IRIX support for Firewire is not perfect and complete anyway.

I have installed WordPerfect 6.0 on my Fuel/6.5.30 and it works.
I had to enter the licence number.

Wrote on the subject of Install Development (Compilers, IDF, etc) at Feb. 19, 2015, 8:21 a.m...

I think that foetz forgot to mention IRIX Development Foundation 1.3

And I am confused if:
IDF 1.3 completely replaces the original 1998 IDF ? or
IDF 1.3 is just an update/overlay for the original 1998 IDF ?

That is true. I never tried to install development tools because I do not have them yet.
But I am trying to figure out what CDs to look for.

Wrote on the subject of Audioengine D1 at Feb. 19, 2015, 12:34 p.m...

I wonder if Audioengine D1 DAC is compatible with Fuel.
On their site says that it uses the TI1020 USB Audio Controller and according to http://www.ti.com/product/tas1020b this is an old USB 1.1 and USB Audio Class 1.0 controller.
I think that the Audioengine D1 has an old enough controller for compatibility with the Fuel and it is worth a try.

In my opinion, the news section is just slightly bad formatted and should be read in this order:
