Controller 2 is a ISP1040 that I ripped out of my Alpha PWS 500au.
(There is now a Symbios U2W in that box.) I threw it into the PCI card
cage and it just worked. A SGI reseller on ebay.de sells ISP1080 with
the note "supported by IRIX". I saw ISP1040 / ISP1080 going on ebay.de
for 20 or 30 EUR (think $) and less.

FC adapters are much more expensive.
