David,
    Sorry, I meant 5.3 . I don't have the 6.2 dist. yet. Hey , I have a
second GE8 if your up for a trade. I can send my want list over (not
all sgi - I'm after a Commodore Superpet too) :) . Sorry, no skins. I
only have mine which aren't in the greatest of shape (damaged in
shipping - darn FedEx). Probably should take it off list if your
interested in the GE8.

would have to look) graphics board set first, only one to go.
