The executable in there is a MIPS/IRIX executable?

How far back does OpenMP support go in IRIX?
I like the Microsoft natural keyboard myself. I like the split ergonomic design and its sturdy but not overloaded with unnecessary crap. I've used these for years and not had any problems with them at all. I've had to clean the keycaps and underneath the keys (cookie crumbs, etc.) occasionally, but other than that they just keep on working. I've dropped them on the floor numerous times with no ill effects.
The best keyboard feel I've experienced was the keyboard on an NCD17 X terminal. I don't know why those keyboards always felt so nice, but they did. Still, these days I prefer a split ergonomic keyboard when I can manage it.
Ah... so you're the one who bought that

I was considering it, but only because I hate to see such things end up on the scrapheap. It doesn't really fill any void in my collection, but would be considered a spare.

Hi folks,
I recently obtained a personal IRIS with a complete documentation set, circa 1990/1991. I'm in the process of scanning everything and getting it uploaded to bitsavers. I checked SGI techpubs and all the IRIS GL and older IRIX documentation does not appear to be on there. If it's already online from SGI techpubs, I'd like to know that since they have PDFs generated from source and not from scans.
Completed scans are in http://bitsavers.org/pdf/sgi/iris4d/ .
I publish an RSS feed for bitsavers so you can use that to get notified of new documents as they appear. (Look for category 'sgi'.)
Of particular interest to developers will be the FORTRAN documentation and the IRIS GL documentation.

OK, IRIS GL user guide and reference are uploaded!

I have a couple of the "Vault L" boxes, CMN A012. They are a little taller than a PI but have the blue-green color of the Indy. I'd love to have icons for these and I can take better pictures if that would help. You can see them in the corner between shelving units in this pic:

Thank you, this picture almost makes me feel not too guilty myself.
LOL, that picture is not that old and it's still a little stale! Added since then: another 4D/480 and Personal IRIS.
Having a building the public can visit along with useful exhibits is part of the plan, but we aren't there yet. Until then, it's walkthroughs by request only.
I've just created a complete mirror of the "books" on techpubs.sgi.com, including the older versions of the manuals at
manx.classiccmp.org/mirror/techpubs.sgi.com
. The other mirrors mentioned in this thread didn't seem to be working anymore. I had recently discussed with some folks at the Computer History Museum if we should mirror techpubs, for fear that it might just disappear one day without warning.
I used a modified version of the script that was posted here (thanks for that!). I have not mirrored the man pages.
I'm in the process of incorporating the SGI techpubs content into manx , with the primary source being techpubs.sgi.com and the manx mirror listed as a mirror. I'm working on a bulk import of the metadata into manx from the techpubs pages, but what I have added so far was copy/pasted from their site.
One advantage of using manx for searching for documentation is that manx knows about all the IRIS terminal and IRIS 4D series documentation that is located on bitsavers as well as the techpubs stuff I'm importing now. The older documentation isn't available on techpubs.
If anyone has other mirrors of techpubs that follow the same directory structure as techpubs, or other scanned SGI documentation that isn't on techpubs and they would like it listed on manx, just post URLs and I can incorporate that.

I'll see about getting it migrated to bitsavers and then update the mirror data in manx. This would give people in Europe a low-latency high-bandwidth mirror, for instance.
The following docs were mentioned on SGI's site, but aren't actually there. Does anyone have them?

OK, if the man pages are in the swdists, then I'm not worried about that. As for your crazy brute force script, that's the one I used with modifications

Both of these were entered into the database, but the actual URL doesn't exist.

This one is accessible at http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/browse.cgi?coll=0650&db=bks&cmd=toc&pth=/SGI_Developer/MproCplrDbx_TG . It ends with -010, so I assume it's a newer revision of that document.
They probably forgot to update the links pointing to it in other documents, so there's a good chance the rest of the documents in that list are still accessible, but as newer revisions.
Yes, some (most?) of the documents I listed were older versions referenced on the web site, but no longer accessible from the web site.
When I made a mirror, I didn't just mirror the most recent version, I mirrored all versions available and also made note of all versions mentioned.
In a utilitarian sense, you might only care about the most recent version of a document. From a historical perspective, you care about all versions of the document.
All the SGI documents are now entered into the manx database
It could go quite high, gsa extends the auction when people bid on it near the end, so there's no effective last-second sniping
The bidders are anonymous, so you don't really know where it went unless someone reveals they bought it. My suspicion is that this went into the SGI reseller market and someone will sell it to a company or other organization that can put it to good use. At $9500 it didn't go to a scrap dealer.
There's that much precious metals in one rack?
Remember, unless you inspected this in person, we have no idea of knowing what's in the racks. The auction doesn't state explicitly. They could be full of CPUs C bricks, or they could be empty.
I didn't know about this thread until I created this page from the CDs that I have:
CD Part Numbers page
CD Part Numbers page
I recently asked for some help on this list and got a big listing of part numbers from a former SGI employee, so lots more was added today.
Sorry, I thought I responded to this earlier. I simply wanted to keep track of CDs for myself, in particular which ones I had archived so that when I see them on ebay or wherever I would know if I was interested or not. It seemed like it might be useful to others, so I decided to put it on the wiki here, but in my user space.
The model numbers are in even worse shape than the CD part numbers in that there are better places on the net where such information is recorded for various machines and I haven't yet consolidated that into a useful reference.

Your contributions would be easier for other users of the wiki to locate if it were added to the existing/similar Media Product Number article . Ditto for your "Legalize Model Number" page, which could be added to the SGI Model Numbers article .

Generates this file:
Entries are sorted by part number, with duplicate part numbers removed. Still needs a human to prettify the output, though
Updated the list again from the attachemnt.

I believe that is the base IRIX distribution. -014 is 6.5.12, so -012 might be 6.5.10 if the part numbers have any sequencing to them.
Yeah, OK, that makes more sense that -012 is 6.5.12. From somewhere I got the information that -014 was 6.5.14, but it was probably from ebay and that's not always accurate.

I think these smaller "software library" ones are the incremental OS updates from the base 6.5 release. There are larger software library box sets that represent everything you need to scratch install IRIX.
Yeah, the part number for the box is only on the little cellophane wrapper and most people toss that when they open the box set. SGI CD part numbers that I've seen are "BASIC indexed" and not "C indexed", so the first in a series of updates for a single product will be -001, then -002, etc.
heh
Just goes to show that SGI did things differently over the years with respect to the CD packaging
