Subject: Request for Information on Third Party Vendors
I'm preparing to buy a SPARC Station from SUN and I'm curious about
options (eg. Solbourne), third party memory, disk drives, and other users
experience with these items. I'd like to keep my bill under $7500-8000
(educational price). I'm contemplating a SPARC Station with a 17"
monochrome monitor, two 100 meg drives and an extra 4 or 8 meg of third
party memory. One consideration is that I probably won't be connected to
ethernet for a year or two but I will have a TOPS connection to several
SUN servers and (hopefully) the outside world so my machine will have to
function as a stand alone system.
Does anyone have any experience with a comparably priced Solbourne
workstation (does one exist?) or other workstation? How about disk drives
- can I get more disk for less money and how difficult is it to install
these drives? Are there any problems getting SUN OS up and running if I
go with a third party drive? What is the best price for memory and is it
reliable?
Please respond directly to me via e-mail.
