Background
The SGI Indy made IRIX, MIPS Unix, video, graphics, and networked workstation computing accessible beyond SGI’s largest systems. The collection holds a working Indy alongside a larger group of seventeen machines. One Indy family story leads to the Turok: Dinosaur Hunter development-hardware acquisition; another points forward to a restored college-lab installation where visitors can encounter a room of working systems rather than a single isolated case.
