I do have a 2009 iMac, but its sitting in a corner of my storage room. I assuem it takes 5 posts to unlock PMs.

That's correct, you should be good to go now.

If you can use the Mac, the command "hdiutil burn IMAGENAME" works fine. I made a set of IRIX disks using a cheap USB CD/DVD burner that way, and they work fine in my O2.

Personally I use Sharity on my SGI systems. Allows them to see and mount SMB shares from Windows machines as if they're part of the native IRIX filesystem. The demo version is fine for general use as it allows one mount without any other limitations.

Thanks for the info, I'm looking for a solution similar to samba for my SGI.

If your IRIX is networked I'd transfer the files over SFTP or FTP instead. It's faster, you don't waste discs, and it'll "work" on the SGI.

All 3 of my IRIX boxes are all networked together using a simple switch. the Windows 7 computer is connected to the switch as well but uses wifi for the internet.

The challenge im having is trying to get the windows communicating with IRIX. I can share folders and resources between the SGIs, but I cant seem to connect the SGI to the Windows box using FTP. I assigned static IPs to the SGI. The windows is assigned an IP by the wireless router. I only need 1 way transfer (PC -> SGI) via FTP to transfer files.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I still recommend <URL url="https://www.obdev.at/products/sharity/index.html">[url="https://www.obdev.at/products/sharity/index.html"]Sharity[/url] as the easiest approach in my personal opinion. Install it on your SGI, share a folder on your PC, then mount the share with Sharity. Then simply navigate to the mounted path on your SGI and copy what you want.

On my PC I have a data drive with the root shared. By mounting with Sharity, I just go to /Network/MDrive on my SGI and I can see the entire drive. Works like a charm!

I downloaded Sharity. Do I install this using the software manager or is there an Install file like "setup" that i double click?

It's a pity that the Mac version of sharity isn't compatible with the latest version of Mac OS?

I have an NFS setup between my Mac Pro and my Tezro. I can assess the shared file on my Mac with the Tezro, but even though it's been setup to allow me to send files form the Tezro to the Mac, I seem unable to do so. (It tells me that I don't have permission to do so?)

There's an install script - it's not a Software Manager program. Unpack the archive and read the installation notes, it is pretty straightforward.

I have tried FTP to access the SGI from Windows 7 and tried the other way around, but it appears they just cant see each other on the network. When I FTP, I am using the IP address i.e. <URL url="ftp://192.168.002.003">FTP://192.168.002.003. But nothing is found. I think its the way win7's network setting are configured. Windows uses a 'workgoup' and not a Domain like SGI. So for Windows 7, the computer is identified by Computer Name (netbois), Homegroup (if turned on) and Workgroup. I do have a static IP address assigned to the Win7 box. Im not sure if im getting confused with the different terminology between the 2 when setting up. I even tried installing Sharity, but Sharity cannot find the win7 box and vise versa.
