Will O2 boot disk from Octane? - xc68000 - 02-10-2025
Hi, I had an Octane2 many moons ago. When I sold it, I kept my hard disk thinking I might get another one day. It had a current 6.5.2 IRIX install with all updates.
Just acquireduired an O2 with r5000 cpu.
I'm wondering if the drive might boot and work for the O2?
Thx

The O2 can read a system disk from an Octane, but cannot boot from it.
