A long history of trying to recover the data, but finally I have been able to recover it. In the next days I have to explain how to use reanimatot to do a fresh install of IRIX.</p> <p>Today I&rsquo;m triying to recompile Vim 8.1 as I had before. While the system is working, I&rsquo;m using telnet to connect to the O2 and run the commands. I want to enable SSH so I have been exploring the system services.</p>http://blog.romheat.net/posts/2025/25_06_08_reanimator/Sun, 08 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000http://blog.romheat.net/posts/2025/25_06_08_reanimator/<p>SGI reanimator is a tool for restoring and managing SGI IRIX systems.
