  • Gerhard Lenerz’s SGI pages

    Gerhard has a tonne of information on his site – pictures, specs., model summaries – well worth a look.

    Lots of useful info about the Indigo. I have a soft spot for these – they were the first SGI machine I ever saw and used. Still an impressive piece of kit.
