San Francisco Product Introduction

[Steve Grandi]

Various corrections to my recent description of the new Sun systems
announced in San Francisco:

The 4/300 cpu card takes two slots only in the SPARCstation series; the
"extra" slot holds a P4 video card.  In the SPARCstation series, the cpu
card is a "single-wide" card.  Thus the SPARcserver 330 has room for two
9U cpu cards in addition to the cpu card (to hold two ALM-2 cards, for
example).

The 4/60 does not have a parallel port; but the 3/80 does.

The 8-bit color frame buffer on the 4/60 is a cg3 rather than cg4; it has no
1-bit "overlay" plane.

Don't hold your breath for the 24-bit color card for the 4/60.

Thanks to the various folks who supplied the real facts!
