Subject: N64 Development
I've heard a rumour that SGI developed practically every chip inside the
Nintendo 64.
If this is true, SGI would be the perfect company to ask for information.
I want to harness the horsepower of the now superceeded N64, and run Unix on
them.
But I need some details on the chips involved.
Have any SGI developers done any of the following, and are willing to make
the information known:
Using the Expansion port under the N64:
Ethernet support
SCSI or IDE disk support?
Boot from either of these media?
The R4000 MIPS chip could really come in handy - and people are trowing the
N64 away...
Please help...
