- Excerpted from HP's Jan. 1993 Workstation Update:
-
- From To Description Perf.Incr. Prod.#
- ...
- 400s \ 10.7x
- 425s } 715t/33 Board Upgrade 3.9x A209A
- 433s / 3x
- ...
-
- Note: - All Series 400 monitors, RAM and internal peripherals
- can be reused on the upgrade
- - Series 700 model 710 and 715t/33 support 64MB RAM [...]
- - Please order the following upgrade preparation kits:
- / A2538A - Series 400 w/ Domain/OS to Series 700 HP-UX
- { #-004 - Domain OS SR 10.4 and NFS 2.3 media
- \ (QIC tape) and documentation
- A2539A - Series 400 w/HP-UX to Series 700 HP-UX
- [end of excerpt]
-
- (someone around here has ordered one; it's not a fantastic deal, at
- local prices, but it's OK. Note that 64MB RAM on a 700 is not as
- much as on a 680x0 machine - some CAD programs require at least 32MB)
