It's my understanding that for the Impact systems and the
Indigo2's with the 250mhz R4400 (2MB cache) it takes a specific
versions with added support otherwise you get all kinds of errors?
Here are the versions I've identified for use on those systems:
- IRIX 5.3 All Indigo2 IMPACT (813-0119-010)
- IRIX 6.2 with Indigo2 IMPACT 10000 (813-0469-002)
IRIX 6.5 seems to be much more universal.
