Hmm, I can't remember now, and it doesn't look like I wrote abything about it in my worklog.
I think it was just changing settings in VirtualBox for the (virtual) hardware until the virtual machine worked.

How hard is it to fix these machines? Are the easily repairable, or more like "only the bravest fools will try to test their stamina on such a task"?
There is a ACE-HD available: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... SS:US:1123
but the seller describes it as "junk".

I could wait the three months for transport, but there is always the risk things get damaged. Doesn't that risk increase if transport takes longer time?

I don't think so. If you read again what he wrote: "...get root privileges..."
to me, that implies that chkconfig is only used by the root user.
I might be wrong, I'm only a newbie when it comes to IRIX.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised to see that part. I also hoped that the NeXT machine was working; happy to learn that this was the case.
frankblues wrote: That the American commentators didn't know who he was is pretty lousy.
Unfortunately, not a suprise for me. In my part of the woods, we are pretty used to clueless Americans on TV. :-/
(For the record, I know a few Americans; and all of them are good, intelligent people, they are knowledgeable about the world they live in, and friendly too. I guess the "only clueless Americans in media" is just a numbers thing.)

If you run fsck a second time, does it report that filesystem is ok?
(in other words fsck (fixes errors)... fsck (no errors reported)

Installed it on another SDcard and played with it briefly. It has a web browser (which lacks Javascript), first time boot opens a "welcome to RISC OS" file in the browser which is helpful.
Enabling networking was easy. Browsing worked, but lack of Javascript was painful on many sites. I managed to crash the Task Manager, tried to Google how to restart it, but didn't find out. Didn't have much more time to play with it.

Curioser and curiouser...what did you mean by this? Can you put an RS/6000 board in a P/390? And what can you do with it?
I believe it is the other way around; you put the 390 board into an RS/6000.

My guess: dead / not working hard drive.
Perhaps the serial port on these can be used as a serial console?

The only Android phone I have is a HTC HD2 (Got it for free from my brother. Yes, I know, it came with WM6.5. I installed a CyanogenMod "port" on it). Initially, I installed CM7 on it, recently I upgraded to CM10. It works ok, but battery life isn't much.

A retina-searing classic.

This.
I have used FreeBSD since the 3.x days, and a while after ZFS came to FreeBSD, I had to try it out. I found out it was quite easy to learn, and relatively maintenance-free.
Now I use it for all my storage needs (fileservers, NAS boxes (using FreeNAS) and so on). It hasn't let me down yet (knock on wood).

Hmm, no BenQ monitors on that list. Yet my two BenQ monitors claim to support SOG ("Composite SYNC on green" as the specifications state). I have requested an account and will update the list if my reqest gets approved.

I didn't say that the rendering engine was their main advantage either.
As others have written about later in the thread, it means that there will be one less rendering engine to test against.

Will it work in any machine with a PCI slot (support software excluded, of course), or does it have be a machine running Solaris 7,8, 9 or 10?
