FWIW, I bought one of these Indys we're talking about.
Nice machine, but 8-bit colour seems a little primitive
these days. :-)

The (lovely) 20" VDU wouldn't work with my PC. However, the page
David mentioned that lists the $90 adapter seems to suggest that the
only thing you need is sync on green. I wonder if my G200 can
be made to produce sync on green... :-)

Anyway, myself and a colleague ordered two Indys (one each) and
they arrived fairly promptly (once the cheque had cleared),
nicely packaged in a box about five feet tall!

What gets me about SGI kit is that the keyboard and mouse on
the Indy are exactly the same shape as my Dell-badged keyboard
and Logitech pilot mouse, but they just seem so much cooler
with SGI badges on. I wonder, if they're PS/2...

Wesley.
