OT: Needed SGI Parts
by Rich Edelman 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

I recently inherited an SGI Indigo2, woo woo. Slight problem with it, though, that maybe some folks on the LUG list can help me with? I need a 13w3 video cable. I found a couple places online that sell them, but they start at $50 and that's just a tad too expensive for me. The company I got the machine from has a second Indigo I could pick up, but it is missing the CD-ROM drive and consequently the drive cage needed for the CD-ROM drive. And finally... these two machines haven't been used in years, and nobody at the company remembers the root login, and they no longer have the installation media. Does anyone have any idea where I could find a copy of IRIX 6.2 or 6.5? I'm not sure what else (IRIX-wise) would run on the R4400 processor in these things, heh. If all else fails I suppose I could put Linux on there, or BSD. So anyway, does anyone have some of these things that they would like to get rid of, or could point me to some place local that carries at least the video cable? Thanks, Rich

Chris Bier was looking for one recently for a Sun box. I can never remember the name of the stupid thing. I had to move some Sprint boxes that had adapters on them. For some reason the stinking adapters would get lost between desks and cause all kinds of chaos.

Frankly though, I'm a bit disappointed in them. They use Linux, but never spent the time or money to make a toolbar for it. They are big enough and successful enough they could have hired it out to the community a while back, at the very least. Kind of made my think of those Peachtree people with their response, "not enough of a base to develop for". Oh yeah not enough to develop for but enough to use it to make gobs of money. But how do you rant about a company that is both good to Linux and bad to Linux? Have they done more good or more bad? Well, enough for ranting for today on this issue. Guess it's just a touchy subject for me. It's tough being an cynical idealist/dreamer realist.

Too quick to send it, here is the software link. http://toolbar.yahoo.com/firefox Brian Kelsay >>> "Brian Kelsay" <> 02/11/05 09:47AM >>> http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=582&e=3&u=/nm/20050210/wr_n… While we Linux users may not choose to use it, the average PC user may. This shows the growing acceptance of the Firefox browser. Maybe that is why Google hired the Firefox programmer recently, not for a Google branded browser, but for a toolbar and to support his continued Firefox programming...

Server Fundraiser
by Bill Cavalieri 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

The KCLUG's server is in the process of losing its hard drive. Friday night, the faulty drive will be replaced. We are all lucky in that this was caught early enough, no data will be lost. To reduce our risk of next times failure, we would like to raise enough funds ($275) to purchase at least a 2 port 3ware controller, and a couple sata drives (>= 80's) for mirroring. Also, the server has 512mb's of ram. While this has been plenty, anyone with spare pc133 registered sdram, would not be turned down :) I'd like to do this sometime next month, hopefully giving anyone who can, enough time to budget some monies. I'll start by throwing in $50. Thanks, -Bill Cavalieri

Bill, can you accept mailed checks for this at your Lumen Software address? Maybe have them make check out to you with a memo of Server Fundraiser and a notation on the outer envelope. This isn't set in stone yet guys, let Bill answer yay or nay first. If not Bill's address then I recommend Chris Bier. Those two are more hands on with the server than most others and I trust them. Hal is too busy right now from what I gather and so am I. Brian Kelsay >>> Garrett Goebel <> 02/11/05 09:02AM >>> Bill Cavalieri wrote: > > I'll start by throwing in $50. I'll match that $50.

Too early, not enough coffee. This was meant for the list.

For those of us living on the fringe who don't make it to meetings, an address and the name of someone to make a check out to would be handy. I'll check through my stockpiles of RAM and see if I've got any registered PC133 sticks laying around too. -- Dave Hull http://insipid.com ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Dave Hull http://insipid.com
