Help for a new SGI owner - Huntman616 - 06-28-2019

Hi I recently acquired my first SGI an 02 running IRIX 6.3

And I was able to get disk images for 6.5.30 And my question is I know you have to burn on using disk at once That CDburnerXP has two versions of disk at once DAO96 and DOA16 And I was wondering which one should I choose when I go to burn the images?

If I remember correctly, you must use DAO96.

Normally I just use the standard CD burner on my Mac.

I use the first DAO option that appears in the menu.

Do you mean the foundations 1 and 2, as well as the development foundation and development libraries?

Yes

Use the standard 6.5 set, as there wasn't a special set released for 6.5.30.
