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...
