Hi All, Ive had an indy for a couple of years (complete with working webcam!) but I have no media for the OS (nor a monitor for that matter) As much fun as you can have with one of these things, Id like to have the OS on hand to start from scratch. Does anybody know where I can lay my greasy hands on the media? (and how much beer will need to be traded)
Hi - not sure if it will help much, but you could try http:// support.sgi.com/ and create an account.
If you register your machine - you *may* have entitlement to download the Media. I checked and it looks like without a machine registered I have entitlement to the 6.5.15 maintenance release ... but whether it's the full OS or not, I'm not sure.
YMMV, HTH

Thanks I am now downloading disk 1 of the 3 disk set that makes irix6.5.22 (maintenance release) at a wopping 64Kb/s. The first disk is 503MB, the second and third disks are ~300 MB each. Im more than a little apprehensive as I dont recall indys SCSI drive being more than a few hundred MB.
They must have put more recipes into the manual pages??? Cheers, Warren.
