Title: A little something I found out about the XL
Post by: Gil on December 11, 2008, 07:30:11 PM

If you remember this pic of the XL, you'll notice how the board says "Moosehead/TWC Interface".

I did a little snooping on Wikipedia, and have been able to prove my theory that the XL really is an SGI O2 computer. The O2 was codenamed "Moosehead".

Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI_O2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI_O2) (under Sec 1.1; first line)

Just thought I'd point that out. :)

btw just FYI Brian (cc17926) bought that unit and has it at this time when it went back up on eBay.
