Dual head SGI + PS/2 Inquries
Hello once more!  I continue my quest to have a working SGI Octane workstation. I have two Octance2 workstations right now, both with Odyssey V6 graphics.  If I am going to use any computer with any consistency, I strongly prefer it to support dual monitors.  Can/should I try to slot both V6 GPUs into one Octane?  I saw dual GPU Octane configurations mentioned in an SGI product guide, but only in the context of "dual seat" deployments where two users are on the same machine simultaneously. I also remember someone with dual V12's on Nekochan (would really like to see images of that system again if they're kicking around, it was a beast!)  Is it a better idea to wait for the dual DVI adapter to show up on eBay instead?  I'm not even sure how I'd mount the second V6 in the XIO carrier.

I would also like to use a fairly modern USB keyboard with my Octane -- are there any active PS2 to USB adapters that are known to work nicely with the SGIs?

Cheers!
