RSX11M+ Veteran Member Joined Feb 14, 2011 Messages 1,075 Apr 5, 2011 #6 Ok... I've done some homework... too many questions. Are these IP27 (R10000) or maybe IP31 (R12000 R14000) boards? Is that what I've been reading about? Do they have memory? Are we talking functional, or just curios? What will I need to make it operational? I'm reticent to take on yet another orphan, but as you see I can't help myself. Could you email pics?

You'll need an O2K chassis either deskside or rack mounted to make these work. They still hold some good value but I would swap a dual 250 Mhz board for a controller.
