But it was a decent enough machine to develop on, you didn’t need the 3D stuff if you spent all day in Emacs or compiling. Whereas an Indigo was really targeted at say CAD users.
- mrpippy 7y agoHaha that was because the base Indy was shipping with 16MB of RAM and IRIX 5 was too bloated for that to be usable. Meanwhile everyone with Indigos kept running IRIX 4 until things got better around 5.3. The Indy had XZ graphics available, which I believe were the same as the top Elan option available on the Indigo (4 GEs)
