The SLC is $5.5k including
-8M of RAM
-a 17" screen of resolution 1200x1000 or so
-FP hardware
-12.5 mips.
With a 500M disk, the cost comes to $7.5k or so (does someone have exact
disk prices?). The best available 486 does something like 8 mips. 8 meg
of RAM is $800 or so. How much is a 17" mono display with 1200x1000 or
so? And a .5G disk? Basically, how do the contenders play off?
