Anyone have any interest in an Silicon Graphics O2 Workstation Owner's Guide?

Document number 007-3282-004

It's headed for recycling if there are no takers.

This software didn't work in 30 years -- SGI InPerson. A video conferencing throwback experience brought to you directly from the '90s! #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #SiliconGraphics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u8Fb8l9Xr4

I stumbled upon an interesting blog today while searching for an image of the Silicon Graphics 3D cube logo. Named "Abort Retry Fail" by Bradford Morgan White, the blog's articles document computer history. I eventually wound up reading three of them.

#1 "The Rise and Fall of Silicon Graphics"

Hello vintage computer friends... I have a lil SGI O2 workstation with a Dallas clock chip — it's the cheeky type of chip with an internal battery. I do Not Like This.

Are they known to leak? Do we remove the battery from the chip? Replace the chip with something else?

Thank you, brain friends!!

Heute ist der SGI 1600SW ein begehrtes Sammlerstück, weil er seiner Zeit voraus war und immer noch ein cooles Stück Design und Technik aus der goldenen Ära von Silicon Graphics darstellt.

🖥️ Es wurden ca. 50.000 Stück hergestellt.

Kein Massenprodukt, sondern ein High-End-Teil für Grafikprofis, CAD-Ingenieure und Hollywood-Studios.

Warum ist der Silicon Graphics 1600SW Monitor so besonders?

🖥️ 1600 x 1024 Auflösung – In den späten 90ern war das ultra-scharf!

🖥️ Superflach (für die Zeit) – Während andere noch klobige CRTs nutzten, brachte SGI ein LCD-Panel mit einer damals revolutionären 16:10-Bildschirmfläche.

🖥️ Spezielles OpenLDI-Interface – Kein normaler VGA/DVI-Anschluss, sondern ein proprietärer Anschluss, den man nur mit Adaptern oder SGI-Grafikkarten nutzen kann.

Warum ist die SGI O2 so cool?

🔹 Innovatives Design: Schaut aus wie ein futuristischer Toaster, ist aber eine High-End-Workstation.

🔹 IRIX OS: UNIX mit Stil – und einer GUI, die sich auch heute noch sehen lassen kann.

🔹 Grafikpower: 3D, Video, und Bildbearbeitung, bevor Photoshop cool war.

🔹 Nostalgie-Boost: Einmal hochgefahren, fühlt man sich instant ins Silicon-Valley der 90er katapultiert.

SGI O2 ist zurück aus der Zukunft!

Silicon Graphics bringt 1996 O2 auf den Markt. Eine kompakte Workstation mit mehr Multimediapower als so manches heutige Smartphone und der Monitor ist ein echtes Stück High-End-Geschichte! 🎬✨

Roll over Beethoven - fired up the Indigo2 High Impact last night for the first time in a while.

This was absolutely mind-blowing in 1996 when the R10k Impact models came out.

If you were lucky, you'd have a 166MHz Pentium in your PC, and a 3dfx card, which was no comparison.

The story of #JimClark and #SiliconGraphics Inc. #SGI was the pioneering company that essentially created modern 3D graphics, along with the #OpenGL standard.

New lap dock stickers are coming along nicely. #sdf #silicongraphics

@flexion I'm really jealous

I wished someone would claw the #sgi brand from #HPE's hands or at least do a #brand & #design licensing deal to remanufacture the classic #SiliconGraphics case designs but for modern mainboard form factors.

• Simply because many folks like myself like #Pizzabox-Style #PCcases and #Casemodding an original SGI part will get one hatemessaged by everyone.

Seriously, I'm shure there's some warehouse with the molds for those plastic cases or at the very least the geometry and design stuff...

• Like I don't expect SilverStone or anyone to make a completely new case design, but I'd love to see some custom #faceplate|s for all those cheap sheetmetal + plastic cases...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDxLa6P6exc

We brought some older UNIX systems to the Internyet part and made it our happy place!
