6886 733 MHz SunPCi[TM] IIpro Coprocessor Card
http://sun.systemnews.com/system-news/jobdir/submitted/2002.08.all.w2.html#6886
The 733 MHz SunPCi[TM] IIpro coprocessor card enables Sun
workstation users whose IT departments may have standardized on
Microsoft Office to run these applications natively in a compact
form factor, eliminating the need for a stand-alone PC. Users may
simultaneously access their Solaris[TM] Operating Environment
(Solaris OE) and PC applications in one box while sharing files,
data and system resources between the two environments.
6830 Repricing Of Sun[TM] PGX64 Graphics Accelerator Board
http://sun.systemnews.com/system-news/jobdir/submitted/2002.08.all.w2.html#6830
The Sun[TM] PGX64 graphics accelerator board is targeted at the
price-sensitive segments of Sun's traditional workstation
markets. It enables console support for workgroup servers, and it
is key to providing a low-cost 2-D graphics alternative for
personal workstations. The Sun PGX64 graphics accelerator board
was re-priced effective June 4, 2002, to account for the
performance difference between it and the Sun[TM] PGX32 graphics
accelerator board, which it replaced.
6833 Sun Blade[TM] 1000 Workstation 750 Mhz
http://sun.systemnews.com/system-news/jobdir/submitted/2002.08.all.w2.html#6833
The new Last Order Date for 750 Mhz Sun Blade[TM] 1000 systems is
set for June 30, 2002. The Last Ship Date is not changed and is
still set for November 8, 2002. The 750 MHz module, 36 GB FC-AL
hard disk drives for Sun Blade 1000 and base ATO Sun Blade 1000
workstations will be replaced by the recently announced Sun
Blade[TM] 2000 configurations.

http://sun.systemnews.com/system-news/jobdir/submitted/2002.08.all.w2.html#6875
Sun[TM] Creator3D and Sun[TM] Elite3D m6 hardware graphics
accelerator boards are being transitioned because they have been
replaced by new 3D graphics accelerator cards. These new devices
include Sun[TM] XVR-1000 and Sun[TM] XVR-500 graphics accelerator
cards. The recommended replacements will depend on application
support and the performance level desired by a given user. The
last order date will be September 6, 2002.
