My favourite video connector, aside from SCART, is 13w3. It's a gorgeous mashup of a DB25 footprint mixed with VGA and coax all in the same connector.

L'ha scritto Rasterman. Grafica particolare ed esperienza utente peculiare. In pratica è Intuition e Workbench stile XXI secolo. Ed anche un po' #silicongraphics in gran spolvero tipo Lost in space

My point is that entire racks full of interconnected cages full of storage, accelerators, NICs, etc. is quite common in #HPC, and #SGI basically made HPC solutions for CAD & VFX...
Without #SiliconGraphics machines there would be neither #Autodesk nor @blender@video.blender.org / @Blender@mastodon.social / #Blender...
Or at least not at that time...
OFC nowadays #PCIe is far more faster and efficient...
Tho I'm still jealous of "guaranteed rate I/O" on #XFS with select SGI system builds...

Last night I dreamt of #SiliconGraphics workstation power supplies. That’s not normal even for people on this instance.
It took some searching, but I finally found these old SGI Indy and Indigo2 brochures online. They sent me physical copies when I was a kid, and they were gorgeous. Spent so much time looking at them.
Sadly I somehow lost the originals over the years. Took some searching but found scans on Higher Intellect vintage computing wiki.

:blobcat: Trying to render stuff using Maya 4.5 on my #SGI O2
The render speed with Maya 4.5 IPR renderer at 640x480 is about 2 minutes. Quite good speed consider my O2 only have R5200 300Mhz CPU.
I didn't made the model, the model is made by bean(alwayshasbean), "dingus the cat" from https://skfb.ly/oAtMJ

Playing with Barco Creator (a software like Photoshop) on my #SGI O2 with Wacom Intuos 1 tablet. Quite good brush engine for early drawing software.
Would try to do some drawing with this in future :3
Also, if you install Wacom tablet driver after install Barco Creator, it will crash on launch.
Re-install Barco Creator after install Wacom tablet driver would fix the crash issue.

@jcgraybill Do I spot an #Indy on the right side?
#Cool #SiliconGraphics computer I had the pleasure to be able to use it during my college time.
For some reason the video capture card on the SGI O2 struggles with s-video and composite from the Nintendo 64.
Sometimes it worked, but sync was broken. I never did quite figure out what the issue was.
During the winter of lockdown I got into wearing hats since I couldn’t get a haircut. So I had some hats made.

This weekend, I brought the old #SiliconGraphics #Indy back to life. Added a 200 GB SSD connected through an ACARD SCSI-to-SATA bridge... and some splashes of color while at it… 🦄
