[comp.sys.amiga] CBM + Sun

don@brahms.udel.edu (Donald R Lloyd) (11/09/90)

	There are lots of rumors floating around about CBM 'taking over' Sun's
680x0 line.  I have it from a source who's usually about 80% accurate that
what is actually happening is that the two are negotiating a contract for
Sun to use Amiga technology in their 680x0 systems (i.e. throw an A3000 
motherboard inside a box with Sun's name on it, add ethernet & either an A2024
or the ULowell board w/large monitor).
	I have no idea if the above example is what's really happening, or if
in fact the whole scenario is way off.  Anybody have anything to 
substantiate/disprove it?

Sun has officially announced that SunOS version 4.1.1 is now available
and will be the LAST version ever supported on the 68K based Sun
machines (Sun 2 and Sun 3 lines).  

They are just end-of-life-ing them.  I don't think Sun is really going to
put an A3000 board in a Sun-labeled box, because they won't even support
it with their OS.
