Of course, you're insane to buy either a DEC or SUN disk, unless you want their maintaince. People here use CDC WREN-V's (630-ish Mb, formatted) costing about $2500 a pop. These can allegedly work with the PMAX as well, if you get the right firmware level. This makes the comparison for N systems: DEC: 3500 + 2004 + 2400 + N * (7950 + 2500) SUN: 1600 + 2000 + 750 + N * (8995 + 2500) but the savings using DEC aren't huge; less than $7000 (less discounting) for 10 stations. -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu)
