indeed. I always find it hard to believe how little information on
these systems is left (and how few systems).

Can't get very much better I guess.
Looking at the IRIS pictures that have been popping up recently and
my own one there are some things I'm wondering:
1) Why do the IRISes look that different on their back sides? See
auction pictures for one model, and see
http://sgistuff.g-lenerz.de/pictures/iris.html#3130
and
http://hardware.majix.org/computers/sgi.iris/iris3130.shtml
for another variant.
2) Why does the 3130 shown in the links above have fewer Multibus
slots (some in the middle are left blank without sockets)? Because
it is an OEM machine that isn't supposed to offer the full
capabilities of an IRIS?
3) The wheels seem to be a common point of failure. I've got also
one or two broken ones.
