I posted this earlier but never received any response or a return message
myself so forgive me if this actually made it to the list and I am
re-posting........

Just got 2 SGI Personal Iris's 4D/35's today (Thanks again Tom) and no KB,
Mouse, monitor for either. Finally got dumb terminal hooked & working, and
was pleased NOT to find boot password protection, HOWEVER....

1 of them still has a working OS, and the other doesn't. I do not have any
OS media for them at all, and the one that IS working has (Of Course) a root
password which I do not have. What I really need here is a copy of the
installation media here. Pleeeaaaasssee Contact me if you can assist in
getting these systems running. I believe the 1 with the OS problem has the
OS, but has no scsi disk label. Perhaps if someone were to have a root/boot
disk they could copy off for me, I could get them working. I believe they
run Iris 4.0.somthingorother.

I am also in the market for an inexpensive KB and mouse combo for at least
one of these.

I also got an HP Apollo 9000/715. Seems to work fine but has abscent hdd for
right now. I hooked it up using my other HP's HPIB KB/Mouse and monitor.
Problem here is for some reason I can not get a serial console to work on
this machine. Can't figure out what the heck I am doing wrong and was
wondering if anyone here knew if I had to set that up in the HP's settings to
get it to work as it doesn't seem to by default. (Before you ask, I tried
both a null-modem and a regular cable on this on both the rs232 and parallel
ports with no luck)

Also will be looking for inexpensive HPIB KB/Mouse for this..

Thanks for any help you have to offer.
