My new SGI O2

They were giving old SGI O2:s away at my work place, so I just had to get one. It’s a truly classic unix workstation, which had quite advanced media capabilities for its time. It’s also known as the body of “Erwin” in the User Friendly comic :)

It works great with my PC monitor and keyboard + mouse (using a USB-PS/2 adapter). The only strange problem is that some of the keys work differently. The most annoying thing is that Ctrl and Caps Lock have switched. Of course I could plug in the original keyboard, but that would take additional space on my desk.
