Keywords: Hardware Message-ID: <10333@brazos.Rice.edu> Date: 26 Jul 90 07:20:50 GMT Sender: root@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 14 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 9, Issue 286, message 4 Originator: spots@titan.rice.edu Can someone provide some information regarding how compatible the Solbourne workstations are with the SPARCstations as we are considering purchasing one? Currently we have mainly SPARCstations and SUN3's in our network and only SPARCstations in our group. I wouldn't like to find out after purchase that the Solbourne couldn't run certain programs. Minimum compatibility would be for programs compiled on one machine to be run on the other. What about hardware compatibility as well?
