Ultra 2 as console for SGI

#1 (**permalink**) 01-16-2008, 02:06 PM

Does anyone have any links or ideas on using a Sun Ultra 2 workstation as a
console on a SGI Origin 2000 system. I would imagine that all suns are the
same. Any pointers would be helpful, thank you.

Ultra-2 is very good and dual cpu, but has only one PSU.

or older E450, E420r, E250, E220r.

You will not render all the aplications in you sun machine. The X server
from sgi runs dgl, an antecesor of opengl, and no other X server runs
these extensions.
I will go for a SGI display.
