One disadvantage to SunIPC is that you need a SUN with a VMEbus to plug it
into. Expensive!!! :-)
A cheaper alternative would be to buy a product called Synergy from Puzzle
Systems Corporation. This slots into a SPARC stations 1's internal SBus
and provides (as the man says) 80386 performance at a fraction of the cost
($1995 +vat + p&p.)
Other features include support for extended memory (which DOSwindows
DOSn't), Hercules, VGA and Super VGA graphics standards and a 16K cache of
SRAM.
Currently Synergy is only integrated with Sunview: we'll have to wait
until November time for the OpenLook version.
