[rescue] Spaceball + IRIX?

[Kevin]

I'm not bothering with any of them considering that that box has been relegated to file server
status for almost four years now.

I don't believe Lightwave was even doing real time shaded polys when Max 1.0 came out.  It wasn't a
common feature on x86 based 3D apps at the time.  3DS4 DOS had it to a very limited degree (preview
mode.)
