It’s actually going to get far neater!… I just need time. .. And more macintoshes or something..

Neat! Thanks for sharing!

GXemul is the nearest thing to get a SGI machine emulated
scsi support is missing but you can ftp boot NetBSD, if you want to try http://gxemul.sourceforge.net/gxemul-stable/doc/guestoses.html#netbsdsgimips perhaps do the scsi emulation.

Ah 🙂 well now that is another beast entirely…

Actually, it’s IRIS 3.7. It’s the source to the kernel, and the unix userland… Nothing for the 3d or graphical stuff.

It’s all 68020 based, and besides that all I know is that ILM used to be contributors back in the day.

Are you referring to the (I think it was) 6.5.5 leak? I saw mention of that somewhere but never found it. That would have definitely been MIPS though.

And is there really a serious effort around getting IRIX to boot in emulator? I can’t imagine that would be an easy task, considering the amount of work that went into getting those boxes to boot Linux and openbsd (and even then, hardware support on the newer boxes is spotty — no graphics on ODYSSEY, no acceleration on the older boards).

But you can get just about any pre-Fuel workstation for pretty cheap anyway…

Cool. Replied via email!

Hmm well there is an old source dump I found that was 68000 based……. never say never, I guess.

now to wait on irix…

Wow I’m sorry I don’t see any email.. I get an incredible amount of spam though… I’d love to hear any details about this, RISC NeXT is something that by the time I got machines it was long dead. But I’d still love to see it!
