Over on comp.sys.m68k there has been a discussion of Logic Concept (or some other weird name) boxes going for 2,995 and 3,995. These are dual 68000 and 68020 (with dual 68000 I/O processors) machines. Although the name is new (can you say 'Running from the Banks', yes I knew you could :-), the product is not. With two 12MHz 68000's running no wait states for I/O and a 2 Mb disk cache, no matter how close the Sun runs to the limit, it is going to get smoked. These machines come with SVR1 Unix, 8 serial ports 2Mb or so of memory and a 40Mb disk with an external SCSI connector so you can plug your 800Mb NEC drives in. I used to have all of the specs on these machines, but I tossed them out the window when they did the same to me ... - John. (jfh@killer.UUCP) Disclaimer: No disclaimer. Whatcha gonna do, sue me?
