What I heard about the announcement is that it will take place on April 11&12 and will include some 26 new products. I can only guess that the announcement is being spread over two days as there are likely two major product areas -- industrial/business and educational. It certainly seems rather late to me for this announcement as some of the items were supposed to be announced last Fall. On a related question - has anyone taken the plunge and put a socket into the space next to the 68020 chip in a Sun 3/60 and tried to make it run with a 68030 CPU? I heard that the pads were installed for testing the `30 chips as they were just being announced when the 3/60 was being put to bed. steve@cs.ualberta.ca [[ On another related note: before discussing as-yet unannounced products please make sure that you are not violating an agreement with the vendor. Sun will make certain information known to certain institutions ahead of time, but always under a non-disclosure agreement. In fairness to them (and to your own lawyers), you should make sure that you are not violating any such agreement by mentioning unannounced products. I will not censor any information sent to Sun-Spots: once it is sent to "Sun-Spots@rice.edu", it's as good as public knowledge. Contributors will have to consider the possible ramifications before mailing the information. --wnl ]]
