Hehe, I forgot about the IGS (not my favorite router). The IGS wasn't one of the 68K line. I think it was one of the first 4K (RISC) processors. I think the IGS also went to 10.x. but don't quote me on that.
No. The IGS was contemporary with the AGS/MGS/CGS and it's 68k based. The first MIPS based routers (3600 & 7200?) were at least 2 generations away (on the low end, the 3000 (?) then the 2500 series came after, and were also 68k based).
The 4500 was the first MIPS-based Cisco router I saw. While I don't know that it was the first, it does predate the 3600 and 7200 families by quite a few years. It followed the 4000, which was 68K-based.
I know my IGS (long gone) ran IOS 8.x (upgraded from 6.x as I recall), and there was 9.x update that involved swapping PROMs. Never saw 10 on an IGS; that would have been a very, very tight fit since the IGS only had 1 or 2M RAM. Pretty sure 10.x ran on the AGS+ if you had enough memory.
10.x can indeed run on the AGS+. I've never seen it on any smaller *GS router.
Played around with IOS 15.5 the other day...times have changed.
Yeah but it's still IOS, and still looks a whole lot like TOPS-20. :-) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
