All this talk of Irix 3.3 reminded me of a dead personal iris machine I
have.
Here are the symptoms:
* Fault light comes on and stays on.
* Back fan spins up happily
* Hard disk light comes on, but no spin.
I read somewhere (I think on "this old sgi") that the serial port for
the 4D/35 was standard PC compatible. I plugged it into a terminal
(both with and without a null modem) at 9600,N,8,1 but nothing ever
came up.
Is it really dead, or will some magic dance possibly bring it back?
