- You probably have a "4315", which runs the UTek OS (rather than (p)Uniflex
- which came with the 4405 in its heyday). Consider yourself lucky. Odds
- are good that the binaries for the 4315 are on the 4319 tape, though
- I wouldn't bet my life on it.
-
- There were a few dozen 4405 -> 4315 upgrades back in 1988 or so (I had one).
- It's a fairly inexpensive X machine that has approximately the performance
- of a Sun 3 (in fact, it can run a great many Sun 3 binaries).
-
- Lotsa luck!
