- This is the plan. The MIPS version release will follow the Alpha release by
- some number of months. I cannot give further details. You may be able to get
- further information in a PID presentation. The Alpha release will be in the
- March/April 93 timeframe.
-
- You could always check with you nearest sales professional for the (hopefully)
- irresistable Alpha AXP upgrade prices for your DECstation/system :-)
