Yes, I contacted SGI(rackable) a few times with no luck. They have pretty much
abandonded any interest in MIPS since being consumed by Rackable. Especially
anything as old as the O2K.

A while ago someone got the big system from LLNL IIRC?

There were chunks of it showing up for sale. Lots of meta routers.

I know it's odd, but have you tried asking SGI?
