IIRC it has very custom system bus, for which there is no
public documentation. I didn't manage to get any non-public
when I tried, either. The SGI representatives I talked to basically
said that it's really not worth the efford to try support them
given the lack of docs, since there is no significant deployment
of the machines in the first place.
