The Sparc LC (aka Classic) has a 50 MHz MicroSparc processor rated at 59.1
SunMIP's. There is a cg3 8-bit non-accelerated colour framebuffer on the CPU
board, but you can add any Sbus framebuffer you like. The machine can
support up to 96 meg of RAM (4 or 16 meg 72-pin parity SIMM's can be used in
groups of 2).

The case can have a SCSI hard drive and a floppy drive installed inside. The
back of the case has connectors for a keyboard/mouse, monitor, SCSI,
ethernet (both twisted pair and AUI), and serial ports (both coming out on
the one connector) plus a parallel port.

You can upgrade the machine by replacing the CPU board with a Sparc LX
board. This will give you a cg6 accelerated 8-bit colour framebuffer in
place of the cg3, plus it replaces the usual 8-bit single-channel audio with
full 16-bit two-channel audio via an ISDN chipset.

If you want more CPU speed, Cycle Computer make sparc-5 upgrade boards, but
they are *expensive* if you don't have much in the way of funding.

Regards,

Craig.
