I`ve read in EE Times, I believe, that Sun's projected sales of Sparc stations is about 175,000 a year. Is that right? And to be more specific what is the distribution of the processors used in the workstations. Let`s narrow it down to 80x86 versus 680xx versus Rx000 versus Sparc versus 88000 versus HP-PA versus Vax, oh and not to forget 320xx and 29000 (and Acorn etc. etc.).
