Help - Setting up VLSI lab

[Charles H. Buchholtz]

We will be buying approximately 12 Sun workstations for a VLSI lab.  We
will be running Spice, Magic, X, and the usual Unix and editting stuff.

Our preliminary plan is to buy 12 SPARCstations, each with, 12 (16?) Meg,
Color tube, and the smallest possible SCSI disk for local swap.  We'll
also need some sort of server (possibly a 4/370).

Any advice or experience will be joyfully welcomed.  We have to put out a
preliminary budget this week, so I would greatly appreciate prompt
replies.

Mail to me and I *will* summarize for the net.
