Sun's announcement of 4/40 (warning: rather lengthy)

   - Internal SCSI 3-1/2" hard drive capacity of 207MB to allow local storage
     of SunOS, applications, and data.

   - Ethernet, 2 serial, SCSI-2, and Audio I/O ports for networking and
     peripheral connections without using SBus slots

SCSI-2.  Why nothing was mentioned about it in the announcement when
differences to Sparcstation 1+ were listed?  Or is this not a real SCSI-2
port?  What about the internat disk.  Is it also SCSI-2?  How does the IO
performance compare to SCSI-1 in Sparcstation 1?  Where to buy SCSI-2
drives and how much do they cost?
