[Intuition]

Well, the Octane fired up and worked right away after I received my 13w3 to VGA converter. 
A new HDMI/VGA monitor ended up working really well with the SGI to my surprise.

I couldn't find my keyboard and mouse, originals for SGI, but I did have a spare older ps2 mouse and keyboard I used with another 2006 era Xp64 system.

These do seem to work overall but I noticed that the Caps Lock key seems to be stuck in the ON position and this makes it all caps as I type and also seems to nullify
my use of the Alt/Shift keys as I can not navigate 3d views in Power Animator or Maya at the moment. 

Is this a known issue with non-sgi keyboards?

Should I just break down and order SGI keyboard mouse again?

Thanks.

Wanted to get back to making vids for the channel again.

EDIT---

update... just noticed that the Alt keys and the scroll lock key seem to turn on and off the caps like while caps lock itself doesn't do anything.

Probably the wrong configuration. Is there a keyboard remapper in the Irix Os?
