- I've received a few opinions by e-mail that Sun Clones declaring SCD
- compatibility nevertheless cannot run some SPARC software. I've appealed
- to the individuals for examples but haven't received any replies to date.
-
- It is of interest to us because we're selling a `SPARCstation 10 Clone'
- that is `100% SCD Compatible'. I'd like to prove or disprove compatibility
- on our machine. If anyone has real examples, please send them to me directly
- and/or post the evidence.

- Ps: Anybody wanting info regarding the EOStation (posted to *sun.announce
- some time ago, but not seen by us yet! Hi Dave, nudge, nudge), please mail
- me. The EOStation is an MBus MP SPARC Workstation delivering now (designed
- by ex-RDI/Trigem-ers) with the single or twin Galaxy SPARC chip, but with
- a single or twin `Viking' (TI SuperSPARC) guaranteed upgrade.
