At the Sun product release in Sydney yesterday the Sun Sales bods were saying the LX would sell for between $9500 and $10000 Australian ($9995 I imagine) but didn't quote a price for the Classic. I imagine that the Classic will come in below the IPC as that is where Sun have placed it in their product range. I think this will also push the price of an ELC down as well. I supppose we will here more about this soon. Some other interesting things that came out of the Sun product release yesterday were: * Sun have release the SPARCcenter2000 in the US with a base configuration of 2 SuperSPARC chips but here in OZ they are only offering a base config with 4 SuperSPARC chips - Too bad if you only want 2 but then I suppose you would probably look at the 670 or 690 then. * The Sun bod mentioned the Solaris2.1 release but never gave us any details. I have since heard almost from the horses mouth that Solaris2.1 will not be available in Oz until April '93. What happens with the LX and classic which are supposedly shipped with Solaris2.1 pre-install I'm not sure. Anyone have any idea why the late release of Solaris2.1 in Oz when the 2.1 release has been announced in the US as available "by the end of the year" ????

I believe the Sparce Classic is going to be about 10K and the LX is going to be about 17K. According to the presentation they are positioning the Classic between the IPC and ELC and the LX between the IPX and Sparc2. -- Alistair Borley Senior Software Engineer ICP Group, NEC Australia 649 Springvale Rd, Mulgrave 3170, Australia

Solaris 2.1 will ship Dec. 7 with the LX and Classic. Please don't confuse
this with shipments to end users directly [Large orders get filled first, in
my experience]. Solaris 2.2 will ship with SPARCcenter 2000 in April.
Solaris 2.1 is also the first push release of Solaris 2, i.e. it will be
shipped to customers with software support contracts. All other customers
will have to buy upgrades.

Is the release date of Dec 7 also for Solaris for x86 variant? While I'm at it, has anyone got the RRP for Solaris for x86? Is there a catalogue of shrink-wrapped software for this Intel platform?
