- At our department we are wondering if the Sabine graphics adapter is supported
- by more recent versions of AIX than 3.1.5, and if it will still be supported in
- the future. We've heard some totally opposite opinions from our local IBM
- representatives so far. We are primarily interested in X11 R4/R5 and in GL.
-
- According to some postings a while ago there was a trade-in program for Sabine
- adapters in the US. Does anyone know of a similar program in Europe?
-
- The reason for this is that we have an RS/6000 with a Sabine adapter on a study
- contract with IBM. The study contract has expired now and the equipment is
- offered to us at a reduced price. Needless to say that continued support of the
- hardware is an important criterion while evaluating this offer.
-
- Thanks in advance for any information.
-
- Eric.
