Keywords: Amiga Unix Message-ID: <1991Feb14.003036.10206@marlin.jcu.edu.au> Date: 14 Feb 91 00:30:36 GMT Organization: James Cook University Lines: 28 What may (or may not) be a good idea is to do a comparison between the various workstation level machines: Prices, HD, RAM, (dare i say it!) MIPS, freebie stuff Machines which come to mind: Amiga 3000UX, AmigaStation :-) DEC DECStation 2100, 5000, HP-Apollo 9000/400, NextStation, NextCube, Sun SparcStation, SLC, IPC, 1+, I suppose a magazine like 'WorkStationWorld' [ :-) ] would be what we want... I liked the AmigaStation, Slab/Pizza box, 3000 motherboard w/ ethernet card, 200MB HD, (faster than now) X server (maybe R4 will do...) Hmmmm, this sounds like a smart X-Terminal, eg: TekXpress: 68030, 34020, X11R4 server, gray & colour NCD: ?, NCD-ASIC, X11R4 server, gray & colour As Peter da Silva asked: "Where are all these machines aimed?" cheers johnc << comp.sys.amiga.advocacy - what a group! - what a flame! >> -- John Croft eejsc@marlin.jcu.edu.au -or- zolos@paladine.jcu.edu.au Tutor, Dept EE Engineering, James Cook Uni, Townsville,Q 4811 Reef Amigans User Group, POBox 988, Aitkenvale,Q 4812
