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? -- Gibberish Soon to be Amiga 3000 owner/fanatic! (I hope) is spoken Contact don@brahms.udel.edu for more information. here. DISCLAIMER: It's all YOUR fault.

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. Michael carpente@parc.xerox.com
