You're probably out of luck, then. Irix 5.3 won't run on an O2, I'd 
imagine. The disks I have can run up to an Indy, but I don't think that 
will be enough to boot an O2. You'll need 6.x.

There may be some 6.x disks in the set Ashley has, but they're a quite old 
release of 6.5. (6.5.12 or there abouts.)

You can cut out the middle man and arrange handover with Ashley, if you 
want.
