  • 03:1303:13, 18 September 2025 diff hist +984 N IRIX Gigabit Card Hack Created page with "IRIX OEM gigabit cards command a premium online, often over $100USD. However, with a bit of engineering it's possible to modify cards using the Broadcom BCM5704 chipset to appear as SGI ethernet cards P/N 9210289. To do so, install the card in a GNU/Linux machine with an open PCI-X slot, and use ethtool: ethtool -E (interface) magic 0x669955aa offset 0xa4 value 0x80 ethtool -E (interface) magic 0x669955aa offset 0xa5 value 0x13 ethtool -E (interface) magic 0x669955aa..."

  • 03:1203:12, 18 September 2025 diff hist +3,841 N Porting Software to IRIX Created page with "Porting software to IRIX can seem like a massive task, and while it is, it's not impossible even for a beginner. == Getting Started == Make sure the machine is up to the task of installation. Compiling produces a lot of heat, wears hard disks and stresses system resources. Recommended specs to build: * CPU: Building on anything slower than an R5000 at 150MHz can be painful. But most packages can be built in parallel, so seek out an Origin 200, dual CPU Octane, or Origi..." Tag: Visual edit
  • 03:1103:11, 18 September 2025 diff hist +2,531 N Setting Up NFS Created page with "NFS or Networked File System is a protocol used to share filesystems over a network. IRIX 6.5 includes support for NFSv2 and NFSv3. == Hosting NFS == '''NFSv2 and NFSv3 have known security problems and exploits. It's highly advised to use a proper firewall and configuration.''' NFS can be hosted from IRIX, BSD, Solaris/illumos, Linux or even some versions of macOS and still retain compatibility to IRIX. This page documents related issues with NFSv3/2 and the various qu..."

In the early 1990s Silicon Graphics was approached by Nintendo and with their assistance the Nintendo 64, powered by a MIPS VR4300 CPU and several custom co-processors produced by SGI was released. SGI provided the SDK for the Nintendo 64 as well as the microcode for the Reality Display Processor (RDP) and Reality Signal Processor (RSP) chips. == Specifications == {| class="wikitable"..."

Additionally much of the CGI produced was produced on SGI hardware. == Sequence of Events == During the part where Dennis Nedry shuts down the security system, he prevented Mr. Arnold (the system administrator for the park played by Samuel L.

  • 03:0903:09, 18 September 2025 diff hist +446 N GL2-1.x Created page with "GL2 1.x was used on the IRIS 1000 series of workstations and terminals, part of the larger 68k-based SGIs (IRIS Series). Limited information on this version of the OS has survived. == What is Known == GL2 1.x is derived from the BSD-based versions of SunOS with UnixSoft System III as a base. It predates MEX, and primarily was heavily dependent on framebuffer-based graphics. It only ran on the terminal and workstation class IRIS 1000 systems." Tag: Visual edit

It is the origin of the EFS system which replaced the AT&T UFS implementation. Replacing GL2-1.x which only ran on the IRIS 1000 series, it was a major improvement forward with TCP/IP stack, improved filesystem, and many other features. == Changes from 1.x == * Rebased on early UNIX System V Release 0 sources from 1983 * MEX was introduced as the sole GUI offering. * TCP..."
