---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun386i to SPARCstation 1+ Upgrade Program SunFLASH Vol 18 #14 June 1990 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun is announcing the availability of a Sun386i to SPARCstation 1+ upgrade program. This provides a second choice for Sun386i customers who need additional performance. The 486 Upgrade, which will begin shipping late 1990, will meet the needs of those with requirements for high performance DOS, VGA capability, or AT Bus compatibility. The 4/65 Upgrade will meet the needs of those who wish to take advantage of the price performance characteristics of SPARC. - All configurations include an EXP Modification Kit, so customers can re-use their Expansion Units with 327-Mbyte drive and/or 60-Mbyte tape. - Customers with internal 327-Mbyte drives can re-use them by ordering the External Storage Module upgrades. - The Sun386i 91- and 155- Mbyte disks and 3 1/2" floppy drive cannot be re-used with this upgrade. Customers with these drives should order the P3 version of the upgrade (UG-RRC-4/65-8-P3). The P3 version includes a 104-Mbyte SCSI internal disk and 1.44-Mbyte 3 1/2" internal floppy disk. - To add a floppy drive to one of the diskless upgrade configurations, order the option for a 3 1/2" floppy drive for the SPARCstation 1+ as a separate, chargeable line item. - The SC (14" color) and SM (15" mono) monitors cannot be used with these upgrades. Customers with these monitors can order new monitors from the Spares Price List. - DOS Windows is available as a separate, no charge line item when ordered with these upgrades. To use DOS Windows, customers must have either a 1/4" tape or a SPARCstation 1+ floppy drive (not included with the upgrades). Description Order Number List Price/ Same Day Disc. Category Price Adj.
