IRIX SPR ( IRIX software preservation resource )
Hello, i'm working to start a project for preserve all IRIX software, CD contents and related stuff as possible. I'm not trying to promote warez or piracy but I think all this apps are obsolete for obsolete hardware and out of business after more than 15-20 years, I'm say this is abandonware. I want make and share a repository for all SGI fan users to share and explore why SGI was fabulous machine in the 80's and 90's. Until now a big part of SGI collector only access to the hardware, but now I want that all can access to the software for enjoy , explore, share experiences, make new tutorials in forums, youtube etc... in some small words I want that all SGI fans can be use their SGI computer as retro hobby like other people do with other platforms.
I think preserve software is the unfinished task for most unix systems, now I'm only have time for SGI but I hope that other users start similar initiative like this for the other Unix systems.
If all SGI users contribute with this project, I think that we can enjoy a new era using and exploring our SGI systems.
Of course if we can preserve software with any unlocked tool for use as hobby will be better.
If it's not a problem with the agreements of this forum , in a few days I'll post here the repository link with the software I have checked.
From now if someone want help me to preserve , check apps , send me files or anything about this , you can send me a private msg from this forum.
