Hi, a customer (at the MCC) is interested in purchasing an Athena
workstation, but also desires a machine with the number crunching horsepower
he needs.  We only list certain workstations and configurations as possible
Athena workstations.  Are higher-end variants supported also by chance?

Then ones we have listed:
IBM Powerstation 220
Personal DECstation 5000/25
DECstation 5000/133
Sun SparcClassic


I have seen IBM Powerstation 320 and 320H in Athena clusters, but don't
know why these aren't listed.  The customer would like to purchase either
a Powerstation 320 (or higher) or a Sparcstation 10 (running Solaris).  This
would be a department purchase rather than personal.  Can he get either
of those Athenized?

Thanks,

P.S.  I wasn't sure if this was the right place to send the query.
