After playing around with the BlueSCSI config file (BlueSCSI.ini) I got the Personal Iris running without issues! I’ll add the file later as I’m away from the machine right now. 

Machine booted, ran a full filesystem check and life is good. It is truly an amazing machine, loud, big, and utterly beautiful. Will need to get my hands on the drive recreation, I can swap my BlueSCSI to a SCSC2SD.  

Long story short. I do not know much of this machine. I bought it from a German seller that got it as part of a big buy of what appears to have been a video production place. Special decks, screens and loads of stuff that I really do not have any knowledge of. As I could not really find any reputable info online about him I was a bit worried. But, there are still honest people left on the planet and I received a well packed pallet shipment. 

The case looks very nice with just some scratches on the top. It looks to be almost identical to jan-jaap’s version. Mine also has the VME video board. 

Unfortunately it does look like the disk was wiped. It has a nearly empty 4.0.5C install. As 5.3 is the oldest I ever worked with I need to up my IRIX admin skills a bit :-)

Looking forward to moving it from the tabletop to a proper place and putting some cool software on it.

For anyone trying this, I followed jan-jaaps info very closely. Also, I used the following information to doublecheck everything I did.
