---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Florida SunFlash Massive SPARC Migration Upgrade Program Overhaul SunFLASH Vol 35 #18 November 1991 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun's already aggressive SPARC Migration upgrade program just got MUCH more interesting. Starting immediately, the following changes are in effect: - All upgrades to SPARCstation 2 now come with 32Mbytes of memory standard (rather than just 16Mbytes) with NO price change (includes Sun-3, 386i and SPARCstation 1/1+ to SPARCstation 2 upgrades). - Sun-3 and 386i color upgrades to SPARCstation IPX are price-reduced - All upgrades to SPARCstation IPC are price-reduced - Full system upgrades (monitors included) are now available to SPARCstation 2 color, IPX color systems, and SPARCstation ELC for those customers that want an **entirely new** SPARCstation. These changes give our Sun-3 and 386i customers more ways to get to SPARC at lower prices than ever before. -------------------------- Upgrades to SPARCstation 2 -------------------------- Upgrades from Sun-3 and 386i systems to SPARCstation 2 are available for the following systems: Sun-3/50 (mono) Sun-3/60 (mono and color) Sun-3/75 (mono) Sun-3/80 (mono and color) Sun 386i (mono and color) These upgrades to SPARCstation 2 are full chassis swaps that: - support most Sun-3 Shoebox configurations - come with 32Mbytes RAM - come with a 1.44Mbyte floppy - allow the customer to keep using their current monitor - give Sun-3/60 color, 3/80 color, and 386i color customers a GX frame buffer - require the return of only the Sun-3 or 386i CPU board and frame buffer (if applicable) Upgrades from SPARCstation 1 and 1+ systems are chassis swaps that feature: - full support of all SPARCstation 1/1+ peripherals - customer retains investment in all interal drives, monitor, frame buffer and SBus cards by migrating to the new system. - 32 Mbytes RAM standard ---------------------------- Upgrades to SPARCstation IPX ---------------------------- Upgrades from Sun-3 and 386i systems to SPARCstation IPX are available for the following systems: Sun-3/60 color Sun-3/80 color Sun 386i color These upgrades to SPARCstation IPX are full chassis swaps that: - come with 16Mbytes RAM - come with a 207 Mbyte disk with pre-loaded SunOS - come with a 1.44Mbyte floppy - allow the customer to keep using their current monitor - come with GX graphics built-in - require the return of only the Sun-3 or 386i CPU board and frame buffer ---------------------------- Upgrades to SPARCstation IPC ---------------------------- Upgrades from Sun-3 and 386i systems to SPARCstation IPC are available for the following systems: Sun-3/50 (mono) Sun-3/60 (mono and color) Sun-3/75 (mono) Sun-3/80 (mono and color) Sun 386i (mono and color) These upgrades to SPARCstation IPC are full chassis swaps that: - support most Sun-3 Shoebox configurations - come with 8Mbytes RAM - come with a 1.44Mbyte floppy - allow the customer to keep using their current monitor - require the return of only the Sun-3 or 386i CPU board and frame buffer (if applicable) -------------------- Full System Upgrades -------------------- Some of Sun-3 and 386i customers want to move to SPARC but want a brand-new start. For a limited time, they have the option to turn-in their old CPU board, monitor, and frame buffer (if applicable) and receive one of the following: - SPARCstation ELC with: - 8 Mbytes RAM - SPARCstation IPX with: - color Trinitron monitor - 16Mbytes RAM - 207Mbyte disk with pre-loaded SunOS - SPARCstation 2 with: - color Trinitron monitor - 32Mbytes RAM - 424Mbyte disk with pre-loaded SunOS - single slot GX frame buffer All Sun-3 or 386i customers are eligible for the full system upgrades, including deskside and server customers.
