We currently have a 3/280. A while back we got "an offer we couldn't
refuse" (at least I hope so) to convert our shabby 3/280 into a gleaming
3/480. We paid our money and got in line to get a new CPU board (I think
that's how they're dealing with it). Now for my questions which you
Sun-Gods out there may feel free to answer in excruciating detail:
. What *exactly* is the performance advantage b/w the
the 3/480 and the 3/280 ?
. The 3/80s we have run *just* as fast as the 3/60s
(i.e. absolutely no performance increase) Will this
also be the case for 3/480s as compared to 3/280s ?
. Has anyone in TV-land actually gone through an
upgrade ? If so what was your experience ?
. Lastly, what is involved OS software wise (i.e.
upgrade tape etc.) in going from a 3/280 -> 3/480 ?
Is there going to be a lot of software rearranging ?
Thanks a lot for your help!
