I don't keep track of prices for the various configurations. However, the 12.5MHz models come with several things standard that are optional in the 10MHz models, e.g., 16MB memory standard vs. 4MB and an FPA card using the ADSP 3210/3221 instead of the 68881. I think the default disk may be larger, also. -- Charlie Sauer IBM AES/ESD, D75/802 uucp: cs.utexas.edu!ibmaus!sauer 11400 Burnet Road 822: @CS.UTEXAS.EDU:sauer@ibmaus.uucp Austin, Texas 78758 aesnet: sauer@auschs (512) 823-3692 vnet: SAUER at AUSVM6
