[rescue] IRIX/SGI opinions of O2 for graphics?

Not terribly yet.  We're working on it.  R5k systems are generally old and
slow, though once we get 3d acceleration and VICE up it'll be suprisingly

serial work, parport is untried, sound is still missing, though it's
simple and someone is supposed to be working on it.
