I've just seen the product announcement for the Sparcstation 2. It's a 40 Mhz update to the Sparcstation 1/1+ with improved floating point and faster graphics, including a couple of 3D options. Their claiming 28 MIPS and more than 4 Mflops. The base system, with 19" mono screen, 16 MB RAM, and 200 MB disk, is $15K. Has anyone received their 68040 based CPU's from HP yet? -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter.mit.edu@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)

Saw them yesterday - a *great* machine at that kind of price point. >Has anyone received their 68040 based CPU's from HP yet? Nope, although I would think we'd be *last* on HP's list way down here :-( Is sr10.3 vapourware ??? Only joking, but we've heard zilch on when that will _really_ ship here either. -- Ian Hoyle /\/\ Image Processing & Data Analysis Group / / /\ BHP Melbourne Research Laboratories / / / \ 245 Wellington Rd, Mulgrave, 3170 / / / /\ \ AUSTRALIA \ \/ / / / \ / / / Phone : +61-3-560-7066 \/\/\/ FAX : +61-3-561-6709 E-mail : ianh@bhpmrl.oz.au
