The Purdue University Computing Center has placed an order with

in late June, 1986.

The Balance 8000 will have 8 CPUs, 16mb of memory, 3 Eagles on
MULTIBUS controllers, 112 ports and a 1/2" GCR tape.

The Balance 21000 (formerly known as the Balance 16000 with the
double sided backplane) will have 12 CPUs, 24mb of memory, 4 Eagles
on B21000 bus controllers and 144 ports.

After the upgrade, parts from the intial B8000 will be retained to
