Many of the ones listed as Indy-specific are merely lacking a boot file for
 Indigo and earlier systems. I installed 5.3 onto the Indigos in the next
room from "IRIX 5.3 for Indy including R5000", having booted the miniroot
from an older release.

You can upgrade a 4MB SIMM to an 8MB one very easily -- just add the chips
and change one (? IIRC) SMD resistor.
