Fate of SiliconClassic's Probe/Acclaim SGI Indys?
Does anyone know what happened to these machines or more importantly, the content of these drives? I noticed an archive of the complete Turok code source posted online, but what of the rest of what was found on the HDDs?

i.e. n-world 3.1, NBA source code, Alias 4.2, etc.

I think Silicon Classics had a pretty good post/thread on this subject back at Nekochan which is sadly gone now.

There was some good screen caps of some of the content.

I seem to remember that these were sold and that I can't remember if Silicon Classics ended up with them or sold them to some one else.

Even I was pretty curious as to the contents of these systems. Including the Alias used.

I used to have three Indy's that were from Berkeley Systems, remember the flying Toaster screen saver? Had all the code and all the models that were done in SoftImage. If I can resurrect my Drobo NAS that just flaked out, have the install for N-World and countless gems on it from scouring the net between 2006-2013ish.. Also have Knoll Lens Flare Pro that I need to ISO, it's a Conductor for Alias | Wavefront Maya Composer.

I've been searching for N-World and Mirai for a long time now...

My Drobo is still misbehaving.. Trying another re-boot, hopefully it will mount.
