IO10 and the Tezro Workstation - chulofiasco - 06-01-2021
Has anyone gotten an IO10 to pop in a Tezro?

You can physically fit it in, but it won't work. I tried years ago, and the PROM doesn't have the ability to recognize it.

I have used an IO10 with sata drives in a rack altix350 successfully.
I still have all of the hardware and will try it in a rack mount tezro in the next few days.

It won't be able to boot, but if I recall it would boot to PROM.

There's no support for the IOC ASIC found on the IO10 in the MIPS PROM firmware. Same for the SATA controller.
IIRC the SATA chip on the IO10 was a pretty crappy one, if you want SATA in IRIX you're better off with an LSI card. Those aren't bootable either, but at least they work in IRIX.
