location of IRIX demo discs - Infiltratr - 10-13-2018

Does anyone have a link to the the Irix demo discs out there?

It's the last thing I need for my set.

Thanks for that guys.

I have downloaded 

generalplatformdemosdisc1.iso.gz                   27-Jul-2018 17:40           309903403
generalplatformdemosdisc2.iso.gz                   27-Jul-2018 17:41           553692373

Unzipped them aok but how do I mount the ISO's to get to the data.  Linux and windows dont seem to support whatever format they are so how can I mount the ISO's in irix??

They are probably not ISO9660 but IRIX format (SysV disc label with EFS filesystem). In Linux, try (as root):


Code:
mount -o loop,ro -t efs your_disc_image.iso /your/mount/point


Windows will not be able to read the disc. But it will be able to burn it to a CD-R (Nero, CDwriter XP), and then a CD-ROM drive attached to an IRIX system will read them.
