Effect & Spark in a SGI O2 R5K

I was able to run effect* 7.1 in my O2 without problem, even using a file framestore and the entire second hard drive. But effect* 6.1.3 was a different story: always complaining 'Can't initialise framestore'.

Checking the forums there are some guys that can run spark and effect* 6.1.3 with a file system framestore so i did some more tests.

The final configuration is to install Stone&Wire 2.6.5 (included with old releases of Flame and Smoke) and configure a second hard disk as stone. Seems to work even with a internal secondary disk of external one.
So, with this config I can run effect* 6.1.3, effect* 7.1 and spark 7.6 with the same stone disk!






Well, now time to play a little more !
