This is not uncommon for Indigo2's, there's a guide out there how to recap the PSU. My success rate doing this is ~ 50%

Hi, thanks for replying. Could you point me to where this guide is?

cheers

mnorton wrote: hi,

I setup NFS on my PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3GHz machine. It works great and I am able to mount my volume,
/Users/mnorton

on my windows 7 PC.

However, I can't access the subdirectories in /Users/mnorton.

Do I need to create links for each subdirectory in my /etc/exports file?

The goal is to NFS mount my volume /Users/mnorton and have complete access in my INTRANET to all my subdirectories.

Also, my chicken of the vnc can no longer connect to this machine while the nfs is running. Port conflict??

What say you?

Mike

I have never exported from a Mac but that should not be needed. Each mount point should be exported thats all.
Are you sure that you do not have some permission issues?

Wrote on the subject of SGI Equipment available in Seattle at April 7, 2014, 2:38 p.m...

shel wrote: Folks-

It looks like WinXP and I are going to reach EOL together; after a 20-year battle with cancer, I've signed up for in-home hospice care.

As a result, I have a pile of SGI and associated equipment I'd like to pass along to someone who can still use it.

It's a large pile:

SGI Indigo2: Purple R10k-195, MaxImpact, 768MB RAM, nice plastic, IRIX 6.5.22. Battery is dead, but it will boot through the maintenance menu.

SGI O2: Mid-range spec, but I think it has the high-end A/V module. IRIX 6.5.30, boots and runs fine. Plastic good except CD-ROM drive door missing.

SGI Octane: Single processor, dual graphics modules, good plastic, IRIX 6.5.30.

External peripherals: About a dozen Sun and SGI external cases (411, 611, etc.) suitable for all sorts of SCSI devices. Some open-face, some closed, etc. I think there's an SGI SCSI floppy drive in a granite case.

Cables: A large collection of external SCSI cables.

Drives: A bunch of those, too, including some 36 GB SCA drives.

Parts, books: Yep. A couple or three Granite keyboards and mice. Large box of IRIX installation CDs. Much etc.

I'd love for this to go together. I can't ship it; it's SGI stuff, it weighs a ton, and I'm not really in shape to take it anywhere. It'll all fit in a station wagon; getting it in a compact sedan might be a challenge.

Contact me off-list to arrange pick up on Bainbridge Island, across Puget Sound from downtown Seattle.

Thanks.

skywriter wrote: Bitsavers is awesome for dec stuff. DEC engineering was very compartmentalized. We were KL and diag and TOPS only, until VAX came along. The 780 and 750 were done at westminister or franklin - i forget - the 8600 (venus and jupiter) was done in marlboro. I left after that, so I don't know where all the 8500 & 8800 (Nautilus) and 8200 & 8300 (BI), and 6000 (XMI) machines were done. By then I was reverse engineering them at EMC for plug compatible, memory and disk products. That was a lot of fun!

"reverse engineering them at EMC" When I read that directly though about "The soul of a new machine " and Tom West competing with VAX 780

Her, not but there will not be a next time

BTW, I have also done a similar thing with a complete 4 rack PDP11/44 and 11/23.

Somehow I start to understand that girls have a bad influence on me, but a second though I think they have that on all guys :lol:

It was a long long time ago when the C-compiler was licensed, the Forte and Studio tools has never been connected to a license server.

Yepp thats the one, I only have the flashlight and the CPU left, don't know what I did with the tool. I changed the CPU on a number of our SS2 and IPX running Xilinx and Viewlogic EDA tools at that time. From what I recall the CPU was fine for P&R(compiling FPGA data) but for interactive use I did not notice any difference.

Hi

I just tried 45.1.1 ESR but I had to revert back to 38.8.0 ESR since it was to sluggish.
Anyone that tried the same with better result?
