We are thinking to buy another workstation (preferably a Sun)
to run Mach (hopefully 3.0). We have a Sun-3 running Mach 2.5
right now. However, our department doesn't want more Sun-3s
because they think Sun-3s are (going to be?) obsolete.
I know that we cannot get Mach source code for Sun SparcStations
from CMU and we have to pay $$$ to get it from Mt. Xinu.
Now the questions are :
(1) Will Mt. Xinu support Mach3.0 later this year?
(2) Should we spend money on the software or on a different hardware?
(3) Which machine is most cost-effective* to run Mach3.0?
Any advices are greatly appreciated.
Note *: we are not a rich group and we would like all latest Mach
software to run on the new machine.
