You can go up to 6.5.22 on these machines. From the 6.5.24 release
notes:

"Changes to Support Mode Status The following workstations, graphics
and scalable server systems have transitioned to retired support mode
for the IRIX 6.5.23 release. IRIX 6.5.23 does not support installation
on these systems:

 * Challenge S, Challenge M, Challenge DM, Challenge L, Challenge XL
 * Indigo, Indigo2, Indigo2 Extreme, Indigo2 Impact
 * Indy
 * Power Challenge, Power Indigo2, Power Onyx
 * Onyx1"

Seems like it is a real great idea to buy a full second system instead
of upgrading my old one right now.
