- I dont know anything specific, but you're probably referring to a
- machine built with the "Tsunami" chip, which is basically a single
- chip computer minus some of the I/O you need for a workstation (video,
- etc). There is rumor that Sun is going to introduce a new low end
- based on the chip, to be priced about the same as the current IPX.
-
- The new high end is definitely more interesting, though....
