Comment:

Is there any way to get something other than windows NT4 or 2000 on this machine? MS claims to have stripped out sgi 320 and 540 support in 2003 and XP. Linux would be nice but all i can find is half written documentation to install it.

help me please!!!

Nothing's broken until you choose not to fix it.

Oddly enought I'd bet BeOS would work. Pretty sure you could get the live Zeta 1.21 cd and try to boot it. I'd also try the QNX CD.

Otherwise you'd need to see http://linux-visws.sourceforge.net/

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.
