- I am also interested in doing this... Can anyone post a complete SPARC
- machine list with CPU speed, MIPS (or SPECmark) rating, and capabilities.
- For instance, can the 4/260 board use old 3/260 memory cards and SCSI
- cards - or do we have to upgrade these too?
-
- Whether we actually pursue this depends on whether the 4/260 is fast
- enuf to make it worthwhile. If an SLC with SCSI disk is faster than a
- 4/260 with SMD at serving NFS, it wouldn't be worth it for us...
-
- Thanks for any info...
