No apologies for the fact that this issue is stuffed with UniForum news – pace those that still think that MVS is only getting its second wind, or that OS/2 is the operating system wave of the future, if you’re tired of Unix, you’re tired of the computer industry. Despite announcing 24 machines a couple of weeks ago, Hewlett-Packard Co still managed to hold back something for the show, coming out with the lowest-priced three-dimensional models in its Precision Architecture family. The HP 9000 Series 800 Model 834 SRX and Model 834 TurboSRX are claimed to offer three-dimensional graphics at up to half the price of previous models with comparable performance, and produce realistic images at a processing speed of 14 MIPS. The Model 834SRX lists for about $35,000, half the price of the comparable-performance Model 835SRX. The Model 834 TurboSRX lists for $38,000, 40% below a Model 835 with the same performance. Both are available immediately and differ from the 835s only in that they have one expansion slot in place of the four in the 835 models.
