SGI IRIS 2400 (1985)

A short demo reel of the 1985 Silicon Graphics IRIS 2400 workstation animating flat-shaded polygons on a 68010 CPU. It shows the early SGI graphics that preceded their later fame.

HN shares it as a classic glimpse of early SGI hardware graphics in retro-computing and IRIX threads.
