Does anyone know if there is any third party memory available for the
newly announced 3/80?  Does expansion memory for the 3/60 also fit into
the 3/80?  What is the price?

The 3/80 is priced at $5995 with 4 MB, with an additional 4 MB costing
$2000.  That makes an 8 MB 3 MIP 3/80 just $1000 less than a 8 MB 12.5 MIP
4/60 (aka SPARCstation 1).  So unless someone is out there selling 4 MB
expansion memory for the 3/80 for a lot less than $2000, it looks like the
SPARCstation is a much better deal.
