[comp.sys.att] Any target date for AT&T SPARC machines?

jr@amanue.UUCP (Jim Rosenberg) (12/08/87)

I've read some articles about AT&T's licensing the Sun SPARC chip for an AT&T
RISC box.  Does anyone have a reasonable guess how long it will be before
one can actually *buy* such a thing?

AT&T was reported in the press as saying not to expect SPARC product
announcements before late 1989.
