From "Put a little sun in your life" an invitation to New Product Announcement Dec 4 at Cornell SPARCstation SLC $3000 1152x900 monochrome 17", 8MB RAM, ethernet, SCSI, sound chip, 2 serial 12.5 MIPS SPARCstation IPC $6000 16"color 1152x900, 16 MIPS, 207MB internal harddrive plus above SPARCstation 2 $9000 28.5 MIPS, 16 MB RAM, 207 MB internal disk (looks like color costs extra) prices are "standard Cornell prices" whatever that means. Mentions that over 2200 applications run on SPARC machines. I will get specifics on graphics speed and price tuesday.

w/educational discount of around 40%. msrp for IPC is 9999.

Does anyone have specs/prices for the personal Iris? I would be interested in comparing the two systems and any other systems that readers would have experience with.

Does anyone have specs/prices for the personal Iris? I would >>be interested in comparing the two systems and any other systems that readers >>would have experience with. Please post if you have facts/figures. There are a whole flock of PIs to choose from. They come in three (four if you count graphicsless) flavors of graphics capability. The following is from my current copy of SGI's Periodic Table of the IRISes as of November 1, 1990. Processor speed: 4D/35 -- 35 MHz, 33 MIPS, 6.0 MFLOPS (MIPS R3000) 4D/25 -- 20 MHz, 16 MIPS, 1.6 MFLOPS (MIPS R3000) 4D/20 -- 12.5 MHZ, 10 MIPS, 0.9 MFLOPS (MIPS R2000) Graphics models: S - no graphics, just a cpu box. (no designation) - standard graphics, 90K vectors/second, 5.1K polygons/second, 8 bit color, no Z-buffer G - 90K vectors/second, 5.1K polygons/second, 24 bit color, 24 bit Z-buffer TG - 200K vectors/second, 24K polygons/second, 24 bit color, 24 bits Z-buffer Price: 4D/35S - $10,900 ("promotional price, thru 12/31/90") 4D/35 - $21,000 ("promotional price, thru 12/31/90") 4D/35G - $27,000 ("promotional price, thru 12/31/90") 4D/35TG - $31,000 ("promotional price, thru 12/31/90") 4D/25S - $ 5,900 4D/25 - $16,000 4D/25G - $22,000 4D/25TG - $26,000 4D/20S - no such beast 4D/20 - $11,500 4D/20G - $17,500 4D/20TG - $21,500 These are all prices for an 8 megabytes system with *NO* disk. An 8 meg system is ultra brainless. However, memory from other sources, such as Clearpoint or Impediment, is pretty cheap for the 20 and 25 models. The 35 memory boards apparently are sort of a strange animal, however, and the SIMMs have some kind of dingus or doohickey that makes them more difficult to clone, according to my memory spies. Hope this helps. I have no relation whatever to SillyGraphics or to either of the memory vendors mentioned in this article. See your local Silicon Graphics rep for more details and more full color glossy brochures than you can possibly fit into your wastebasket... :-) The Navy and I have a deal: The Secretary of the Navy doesn't hack computers and I don't tell him how to drive ships. spl (the p stands for Personal IRIS, my foot...
