Did you have the Indigo display? 1990s SGI is absolutely vintage now :)
No, at VCF East 8.0 in 2012 we had a Indy, Octane, Indigo2 and an O2 networked playing BZFlag and Dogfight This is a video of VCF and our setup at 56 seconds in. https://youtu.be/boCSTajHutc?t=56
There should be a nice display this year, I'm bringing my Personal Iris for one, prob a onyx plus others.
That would be pretty cool. Brian has a personal Iris, but we turned it on recently and blew up a capacitor.
Do you have a 3000UX? I used to have one but now I have to use an Emulator to experience it.
No, while I would like one, I am running out of room. I worked for an Amiga store called Amagination in the 90s and we had one. I remember when it came out and we demoed it at Columbia University. I was a huge Commodore/Amiga guy around that time.
I have a plan to build it on the emulator then dd the image onto a SD card and then use the SCS2SD in my Amiga 3000 (not UX) to try and boot the real thing again.
Thats cool. I mean there really wasn't much you could do with it that I remember. But it was my first real intro to Unix.
