Ahead of the other Pentium-ready systems, Unisys Corp this week announces three additions to its U 6000/35 Unix server line based on Intel’s 66MHz 80486DX2 chip, expected to enhance the old 33MHz box as a workgroup or departmental local network server and as a distributed server node in an enterprise-wide transaction processing network. It says it’s got a maximum 43% improvement on multi-tasking user loads. The six-slot boxes are immediately available with 16Mb RAM expandable to 64Mb, a 150Mb quarter-inch cartridge tape drive and 5.25 drive at $11,700 for the D66 with a 240Mb hard drive, $12,200 for the E66 with 425Mb hard drive, and $10,100 for the F66 with disk select option. With an optional mass storage subsystem the box can go to 44Gb total storage with a dual SCSI-2 input-output processor. The U 6000/35 upgrades come this quarter.
