The collected works of ibara

I'm new here (prodded to join by ClassicHasClass :D ). Here's my O2, named Reco. My O2 is running OpenBSD so I can't get an hinv from within IRIX, but below is a serial dump of 'hinv -v -p' and 'hinv -v -t' from the maintenance console.

I've had the machine for a little over a year now. In the past few weeks I got a 5-port USB PCI card and a cheap RealTek 8188CUS USB wifi dongle (urtwn(4), for other OpenBSD users) and now I have a happy wifi-enabled O2 :)

Unfortunately, I don't have a dedicated place for the machine yet, but here's a picture of it.

Sadly, the O2 body came damaged. I'm not one of those people interested in the looks of the machine (as long as it works, I'm happy) so I doubt I'll ever get it fixed.

And here's my (currently sparse, but usable) desktop screenshot.

The machine came from the studio of Klasky-Csupo, where it was used in the rendering farm of cartoons such as Rugrats, Ahh!!! Real Monsters, and Duckman. In fact, that was the major reason for me purchasing it; I grew up with those cartoons so the machine has extra value to me over its utility. I always assumed the tvland2 sticker was just its name in the internal network or something.

Nice use of Dillo. Very appropriate for the machine.

It was an easy choice, since I'm the maintainer of the Dillo port for OpenBSD ;)

Thanks. The Loongsons are great. I use the Fuloong as a general server at home (and it hosts my gopherhole to the public).
One yeeloong is on permanent compile duty; the other I use as a travel netbook. And I often have to give mini demonstrations wherever I take it ;)

I actually have the CD drive cover, it's just not on the machine right now :D
But thanks for the offer!

Oh, I just make sure Dillo is up-to-date and works on OpenBSD :)

Old, slow and clunky by today's standards, but a clean/streamlined OS and of course it's a beautiful little machine, despite being around 15 years old!

So... pictures? :D

Serial boot should help see what's going on.

Well, it does. You just don't have the right connector. You need a mini-DIN 8 to RS-232 cable (or you can build one, pinouts are here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=316&p=2094&#p2094 ).

Back in the day, my iBook G3 had an uptime of over a year.
I wish I had taken a screenshot of that...

Heads up: a new version of Dillo was released yesterday and one of the headlines is "fixed compilation on irix"

Well isn't that a thing of beauty! Just looking at that first picture induces pangs of nerd jealousy, as well as disappointment that I don't make enough money to afford all that stuff (or the electric bill) :D

You need an IRC client.
