I have about .. hmm.. 15 Indy's sitting at my house.
All R4000SC/R4400PC-100's, all 8-bit newport, all have at least 32mb
of ram and I'm sure most have 600mb hard drives. Just enough for
dumb terms, if anyone can shack up enough monitors (I have cables/keyboards/
mice/indycams for nearly all of them.)

Don't swap the O2. The Indy's I have are .. well, I bet much smaller. :)

I'd be interested in getting the SGI guys to give an absolute verdict
as to whats busted, rather than "it can only be one of these bits."
