    This won't be covered by the thread above...

    I'm restoring an SGI Indy, and I need two pretty obscure parts

    My dad dropped the monitor, and whilst I've managed to get one that supports the required resolution/refresh rate, it has the wrong connector - so anybody know anywhere that does 13W3->VGA or 13W3->DVI convertors?

    Also, the PROM is dead. I have the reprogramming data for it, but no replacement chip. Its a Dallas Semiconductor DS1386-8k-150 Watchdog Timer. (DALLAS RAMified WATCHDOG according to the top of it). Again, any idea where would have this? Maplin/Peats/Radionics don't.

    Regards your PROM chip, you might try flashbios.org. I just sent off a Asus BIOS chip to have it reprogrammed but I know they also sell new chips so you could ask there
