[wplug] SGI INDY

[Michael P. O Connor]

Well I am not sure on what this SGI needs, I can give you the Model No.
(CMN B006Y75)  This SGI was given to me by a friend.  The hard drive has
been blasted to my understanding.  It does have a hard drive.  If i need
a serial console I do have one of those, if needed.  I am thinking BSD
because I don't know it that well,a can not afford a copy of Irix (man I
would love to get my hands on a copy of Irix)
