I actually forgot that they made a low end ‘Indy’ and never saw one. We called the Indigo2 Indy
There were some oddities with ad dollars and prestige clients in the 90s, where systems would be upgraded, avoiding swapping out the serialized, asset tagged parts, yet upgrading systems.
The teal Indigo2s were the original with the impact graphics ones being purple.
But all the Indigo2s I saw typically were r10k + max impact graphics despite the color.
The cases were identical.
But Evans & Sutherland and Lucas are the only places I dealt with SGI, so probably not a good source for typical customer’s experience
I'm tugging at my memory with this page: http://www.sgistuff.net/hardware/systems/index.html
I had a teal Indigo2, an O2, and an Indy at various points. Neat stuff, but time moves on.
There's some complex setups listed in the origin/onyx pages. You could mostly mix and match boards to get what you wanted.
