Paths to the SPARCstation(TM) 10 system models 40 and 51 as well as a path to the SPARCstation LX(TM) system have been added to provide a variety of choices when trading in an HP(R) or Apollo(R) system. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS --------------------- Q. When does the HP/Apollo Migration program end? A. The program was extended through the calendar year. It will end December 31, 1993. Q. What does the customer return to SMCC, and do they have to return something before they can upgrade? A. The customer must return a full system in working order to SMCC within 30 days of receipt of the trade-up product. Unlike HP's program, SMCC's customers do not have to return anything before trading-up. The trade-up includes a return materials authorization kit (RMA) that provides the customer with everything they need (except packaging) to comply with the return rules. Q. Why is there only one path number per system to order? In the past there have always been two. A. Only one path number was created per system to simplify the quantity of numbers available to book while still giving the customer a very aggressive price. AVAILABILITY ------------ - SPARCstation 10 model 40 and SPARCstation LX systems are available for immediate shipment. - SPARCstation 10 model 51 will release in late June with volume shipments in August.
