- We are considering purchasing a Sparcstation 10 to replace a 3/280 as
- the main departmental machine. The 280 currently has a Kennedy 9 track
- tape drive running off of a Xylogics 451 controller, and 2 CDC 9720
- 1.2GBy drives off of a Xy 753 controller. I would like to know if
- these devices could be run off of the Sparcstation 10, after purchase
- of a VME/Sbus converter card. My local salescritter has so far been an
- exercise in futility, it taking three phone calls and a month and a
- half to simply get me my price guide, and my techical questions have
- been unanswered.
-
- Can anyone help me?
