I was able to pick up a cheap (used) SGI Indy on Ebay. I think I
paid US$50 with shipping. Of course, it got damaged in transit
(drive tray wasn't secured and bashed the WDT off the mainboard,
wrenching half the DIP socket off with it), but a little resoldering
and it was fine (I wound up divorcing a similar socket from an old
486 motherboard I had collecting dust). I'm running Debian/sid on it
right now and pbuilder chroots for woody and sarge with no problem.
