Walter Roberson <roberson@hamer.ibd.nrc.ca> contributes the following
list:
Here's a first draft of a table, based mostly on material that has
appeared in Pipeline. Details up to IRIX 3.3 are largely lost in the
mists of time, as are details about when various platforms went out
of service.
Note: Names with '+' should not be broken up into components. For
example, IRIX 3.3+3.3.2 is distinct from IRIX 3.3 and from IRIX
3.3.2, and indicates IRIX 3.3 with a maintenance release (what would
now be called a roll-up patch.)
Note: IRIX 4.0.1T, IRIX 4.0.4T, IRIX 4.0.5IPR, and IRIX 5.3+5.3 TIRIX
are Trusted IRIX releases, not general IRIX releases.
Note: IRIX 5.2 and 5.3 releases are sometimes very hardware
specific. The last release listed is not necessarily the last or
best release for all hardware.
