- OpenSource, Inc. Announces Full Line Of SPARC(tm)-Based NEXTSTEP Workstations!
-
- DENVER, COLORADO - April 3, 1995. OpenSource Inc. today announced
- the newest addition to its hardware line, the OpenStation 5s and
- 20s workstations for NEXTSTEP v.3.3 for SPARC processors. These
- systems are 100% compatible with Sun Microsystems' Sparc 5 and
- Sparc 20 workstations. They are the first SPARC-based systems
- available to come pre-installed with NEXTSTEP.
-
- The OpenStation 5s and 20s are low cost, high performance desktop
- systems. OpenSource also builds the popular OpenStation 5i Pentium
- workstations and offers Canon's object.stations. OpenSource also
- represents hundreds of 3rd party software applications.
-
- "In the short term, our SPARC line allows us to offer incredibly
- fast, highly integrated workstations for NEXTSTEP users. Ultimately,
- as present Solaris users migrate to OpenStep, the OpenStation 5s
- and 20s will allow us to agressively support them as well. We believe
- all of our hardware bases are now covered." said Wes Carrington,
- OpenSource's Vice President.
-
- ----OPENSTATION 5s WORKSTATION----
- The OpenStation 5s is a compact, desktop workstation that is based
- on the MicroSPARCII(tm) processor. It comes pre-installed with
