Date: Sun 20-Oct-1989 09:47:17 From: Unknown Subject: Configuration Questions In light of the recent announcements in the NY Times and Wall St. Journal, I'm no longer sure exactly what comes with what for how much. 1. Are all NeXT models now being shipped with the 40-meg "Acclerator" drive? If not all models, which? If not now, when? (In case you haven't heard, NeXT announced a fast, small drive for temporary storage / swap space / virtual memory.) 2. Will the "Acclerator" be given free of charge to existing NeXT owners? If not, what is the cost? See, if this accelerator makes an OD-only system more usable, I may put off buying the hard drive... It would make the financial picture a lot rosier. 3. NeXT apparently intends to sell "diskless" workstations for use on networks. The student price is $4995. What is a student going to do with a diskless machine? I know of no student networks... Unless Jobs is thinking of ethernet campus networks in dorms... Jonathan Dubman >From: barry@joshua.math.ucla.edu (Barry Merriman)
