True - If it's a R3k it will have to be 5.3. If it's a R4k it can be 6.5.22. You can tell by hinv in the PROM or by looking at the SIMM RAM- the R4k takes regular SIMMS, the R3k has larger proprietary SIMMS. We will install either 5.3 or 6.5 tomorrow via netbook - no CDROM is required. -andy

Just to you... thanks again! Are you sure 6.* will work? I seem to remember that I was told this is one of earliest models of the SGI Indigo (maybe R3000?) and might only go work with 5.*?
If it is a R3K CPU board then your optical drive has to be 512 byte blocks, and you are limited to IRIX 5.3 I think.
Check the left board by model #.
