Didn't you mean to say 'miata'? The multia is dead.

We are now on our THIRD naming convention for Alpha Workstations in

| 8621.6 | So it's a business decision | PERFOM::HENNING | | Wed Jan 29 1997 07:05 | 2 |
| Send your cards and letters to workstation product management. Tell
them "I can sell 500 of these during the next 5 weeks if I have Unix."

| This is the NT version of the Miata. There will be a variant that runs
Digital UNIX in the not-too-distant future. As for the current boxes,
this is the answer I got from someone in the know:
No. It's a different family (systype). It won't be recognized.

| 8621.8 | A question of $$$ | VNASWS::HAUSB | Its a hard life in the mountains | Tue Feb 04 1997 04:28 | 9 |
|
But be aware:
Customers will have to pay the "Unix-penalty" it will
probably more expensive than the NT-variant..........
(The differance is not just the delta of the licences)
