There is a rumor that Sun is coming out with a new workstation soon. I need to know more about it. Anyone has any information? I would like more information on how different it is from Sparcstation 1+. Is it true, or is it simply a rumor? thanks in advance, yingsha

I met with Pat Mcloughlin (my sun rep here in Buffalo), & he gave me a spec sheet on the new Sparc 2 !!! Basically, it is replacing the 1+ (with about the same base price, I understand, of around $16,000). It is 28 MIPS 400+ Mb hard drive 16 Meg RAM standard GX graphics accelerator standard Sounds great to me! (28.5 MIPS 4.2 Mflops 21 SPECmarks, to be exact) Shawn E.
