Our organization is considering upgrading its older 3/280's to the
SPARCserver 490.
I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has upgraded their
3/280's to a SPARCserver. Did the upgrade go smoothly? What equipment
does SUN require you to return? Are you able to use the XY 472 tape
controller, SMD-4 and disks, ALM-2, and SCSI disks and tapes? Were you
able to keep the 72" cabinet? (The "card cage" is supposed to be
returned.) Are you able to use the b&w monitor of the 3/280 with the
SPARCserver?
The list price for this upgrade in the 6/15/90 price book is $52,600. Any
information anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. Please respond to
me at my e-mail address.
