Too bad.  I have dimple-top Sun 3/50's.

Hmmm.  I suspect the upgrade involves more than just replacing the CPU.
If replacing the CPU is all that's required, then why isn't the upgrade
offered for dimple-top models?  I think Sun plans to swap the entire base
box with a new one.  By swaping the whole box, you then get the proper
power supply to go with your new Sun 3/60.
