Dear Bjorn,

You're talking a *long* time ago. If I recall correctly the genealogy of the SGI platform type is

sgi_elf4 - 64-bit mips4 (ELF) sgi_mips4 - n32 mips4 (ELF) sgi_elf2 - o32 mips2 (ELF) sgi_r4k - o32 mips2 (COFF) sgi - o32 mips1 (COFF)

where

64-bit, n32, and o32 are the different ABIs (application binary interfaces) mips1, mips2, and mips4 are the different ISAs (instruction set architectures) ELF, COFF are the different file formats

The R3000 only supports the mips1 ISA so you'd want the original "sgi" platform type from probably nine years ago.

Dear Bjorn,

It looks like version 17 or maybe 18 was the last to be supported on IRIX

5.3.

Dear Rod,

Yes, but I think the cpu must be a R4x00 for these versions. On a R4x00 you can run ProE up to 2000i2 (IRIX6.5). If I remember correctly they officially stopped at

2000i for R4x00, but 2000i2 works.

Regards Bjorn
