could we hope to see linux on Indigi r3000 one day ?!? :)
Chances that we'll ever support this machine are quite low. Most of the
documentation is lost or scattered somewhere over zillions of backup
tapes somewhere here at SGI ...
I would help searching as I've got such a box and want to run Linux on it
(instead of IRIX 5.2;)
Btw, my box has a card added which has transceivers vor glass cables. Does
anybody know what this is (FDDI or 10MBit ethernet...)?
Transmitter: AMP 269011-1, 125MBit/s, @1300nm
Receiver: AMP 269011-1, 125MBit/s, @1300nm
The board is connected on top of the CPU board and labeled with "SILICON
GRAPHICS INC. ASSY NO. 030-0246-006 REV A MADE IN U.S.A 1992". Next to
transmitter/receiver, there's a crystal oscillator with 25MHz. That card also
has an own "processor", a AMD Am29030, build 1991.

The 125 MBit/s looks like a 100 Mbps signal with 4-to-5 encoding. Since
100-Base FX Ethernet didn't exist in 1992 and ATM runs at 155 Mbps, I guess
it's FDDI.

FDDI sounds right. What does the physical connector look like? I think
FDDI does 4-5 encoding?
