IRIXNetwork

The IRIX Network maintains copies of old defunct websites that contain information on obscure and old topics. Throughout the years — all the way back to Jonathan Levine's 1993 IRIS FAQ — hobbyists have tried their best to preserve and organize information, however many of the older sites which once held this information are no longer operational.

This is one of many projects to re-release old content. This page only lists content which is no longer available online (or never was available), and has been re-hosted on IRIX Network servers. For currently operational SGI websites, check the sites we are affiliated with.

A collection of projects such as Nekonomicon, The Lost Chapters, and more. These are small subsections of the larger archive that are incomplete, obsolete, or of below average quality, but are seen as of value nonetheless.

The official Silicon Graphics website, circa 1994. As many users didn't have access to the internet in 1994, the site was distributed on a CD, which was eventually found and uploaded by Dan Rich to employees.org/~drich/SGI/SiliconSurf.

This version of SiliconSurf predates Wayback Machine archives, and is the earliest known copy of SGI's website. It features then-new systems such as the Indy, Indigo2, and Onyx, as well as news, technical details, investor information, and more.

Though originally released as web files stored on a multimedia CD, SGI's Developer Forum '95 site is just as functional online as it is offline. Also archived by Dan Rich, Developer Forum '95 is a multimedia CD released by SGI after said developer conference.

It contains pictures of the event, details of its happenings, audio and video recordings of presentations (some in IRIX-specific formats), slide decks, and a wealth of information useful to the developers the CD would originally have been given to.

Detailed information about Onyx, POWERSeries, and Crimson systems, written by an employee of the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service's GIS Unit, which used many SGI systems. Features pictures of machines and parts, hardware information, parts lists, and slot descriptions for numerous system configurations.

One of the earliest SGI hobbyist documents. A plaintext file distributed on USENET beginning May 24th, 1993 and last revised June 6th, 1994, providing details about the early 68000-based IRIS 1000, 2000, and 3000 series systems. Written by Jonathan Levine, who describes himself as "a hardware engineer with no prior UNIX experience".

Megarat's Indigo Pages, an early hobbyist site dedicated to the SGI Indigo.

A site featuring information, history, high-resolution photos, tips and tricks and more for most SGI systems. Created by Gerhard Lenerz, and preemptively archived due to periods of unavailability. As of October 2019 the site is back online — please visit the original and give Gerhard the traffic and credit.

A website initially published December 10th, 1996, last updated July 2nd, 1997, written by A. J. Corda. Contains information about 4D-series SGI machines: Professional IRIS, Personal IRIS, and POWERSeries. Hosted on Geocities until 2004, when it was removed by Yahoo. Also known as "4dfaq" from the URL it was archived at on SGIStuff.

A page containing the text and images from the sale of a new-in-box IRISVision card on eBay, including screenshots of the listing. Features high-resolution images of IRISVision hardware, packaging, and pack-in materials.
