Annnd the pages behind the homepage are gone. Oh, and most of the images on the homepage are gone in the past couple of minutes. Sigh. IIRC, WeirdStuff supplied my first working SGI acquired in the 21st century, an Octane, in 2010 to judge from the forum posts. I first stumbled on WeirdStuff on a we...

Those look like MMJ serial connectors on the back, with the offset tab on an RJ45. I don't recall ever seeing that on non-DEC gear...

Shoot, I was hoping to learn that my old Rainbow CryptoSwift and HP AXL300 cards were somehow wildly valuable...

"LQQK! R@R3 CRYPTO PROCESSOR!! MINE BITCOIN/ETHEREUM!!!!1!
Once only affordable for large corporations and high-tech startups, these cards..."

Interested, assuming I find a working PSU for the O2 here...

Loongson has come up periodically over the years, but when I've looked for the hardware - typically laptops - it's been tough to find. But I've only looked periodically, and not terribly hard.

Products did get made and shipped. Not sure what the current status is.

Ah, I thought that was going to be the $1,200 + S&H unit I spotted on ePay over the weekend.

Laptops are a good choice because you don't need to worry about space for a separate keyboard, monitor, etc. But if you're looking for something less portable, I would suggest an old thin-client. They usually include one or two real serial ports, often a parallel port, USB, etc. You'll probably get ...

Picked up a couple TruePosition boards that combine a GPS receiver with an "oven"-stabilized or ovenized crystal oscillator (link). We'll see how far I get with the tinkering...

woot woot

I really liked the film version of Your Name , I think I watched it on a plane earlier this last year. Not so thrilled at the idea of JJ Abrams getting his hands on it... I mentioned Erased before - anybody notice the live action version on Netflix? I might be more optimistic if I hadn't tried to wa...

Hey, at least you've got plenty of warning. I didn't know Connect supplied compiled packages for PH/UX.

I could probably take the Octane PSU and SI gfx card off your hands. Work in Sunnyvale these days, re: pickup. LMK

I've always had good luck with Adaptec 29xx or 39xx[x] controllers in x86, but Symbios/LSI cards should be fine too.
