[comp.sys.sun] Specs/Price on Sparc II's

jonas@convex.csd.uwm.edu (Jonas K Manske) (05/10/91)

Hi everyone...

Could somebody send me some specs on the SPARC II machines?  Such as
speed, graphics hardware, ports, bundled software, etc.  Some friends and
I are starting a company and need to buy a workstation.  We thought we
would look into Sparc stations.

How much does a SPARC cost with this minumum configuration:

	- 1200 x 900 mono-graphics
        - 400 meg HD
        - 16 MB memory
        - All Unix utils and documentation
        - 25 Mghz CPU. (at least)

Is there any student discounts available?  How does the SPARC compare to
the DecStation 5000?

I doubt if you're going to get a student discount if you're going to use
the machine for commercial purposes...
