Indigo2 risen from the ashes - gmcenroe - 11-06-2020

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension that is as vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition. And it lies between the pit of man's fears and a summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area of which we call the Twighlight Zone. I take you back to 1996 when Silicon Graphics Workstations ruled the world, risen from the Phoenix of Computer Science I bring you my personal Indigo2 still working after all these years.

One problem, the CDROM drive does not open and the pinhole manual eject method does not seem to work with a paperclip. 

Now to figure out what I can do of practical use with this dinosaur. Thanks go out to blacksmith who suggested this Dell monitor!

OK will do in the future. I bought a replacement CDROM drive on ebay today, since my tray won't open. I hope the replacement works.

As for the CD drive, I'm afraid I'm not sure.
