Greetings,
About a year ago, amongst a bunch of stuff from a university, I picked
up three SGI Personal Iris systems. They didn't all have hard drives
and I think one of the keyboards is dodgy so my plan was to sell one on
ebay (which I did) and get a working system out of the last two.
This has not happened and I don't forsee it happening in the near
future, plus I need the space...
I did take a few pictures (just after i got them) for my site and they
can be found at

What there is:
- Two SGI Personal Iris units, '4D/20 ENTRY' configuration
(but I'm not sure if they are still that configuration)
- Two 21" monitors (see pictures)
- Two keyboards
- One mouse (maybe two but definitely only one of the special
red/blue mouse pads for the early optical mice)
- At least one video cable per monitor
- Various Irix administration and programming manuals (see the
pictures for titles)
The cost:
Free.
The catch:
You have to pick it all up from Glen Waverley, Melbourne, Australia.
Also since they came from a student computer lab where they booted off
the network they will almost definitely need some degree of operating
system reinstall.
I'll give it a week or two but after that I'll try and find a computer
recycling place that will take them, otherwise it is off to the tip
(rubbish tip that is)...
Stephen
