Hi all,

    Neither aus.computers.sun or aus.computers.linux suits this query
but hopefully someone can help me out.

    I have just been given an SGI IRIS Indigo XS. My knowlege of SGIs is
limitied. The tower has only a 480mb HDD inside but I have an external
2gb SCSI HDD and CDROM I can attach to it. The unit doesnt appear to
have a floppy drive of any sort.

    Where can i get hold of a copy of IRIX and whatever else software I
need to put on it?

    Any information you can provide me with would be much appreciated.
Also, how much are these machines worth?

    With Thanks
