Around 1993/4 was when they were first introduced and around 1999 was when
they were dropped as a stock line. What's surprising is that the
Sparcstation 5's with 170 Mhz Turbosparc-based system boards were sold for
at least a year or two after Sun dropped the Sparc 20's and all the other
versions of the Sparcstation 5.

Regards,

Craig.
