CDROM distribution of SUN software

Tue Jan 8 02:53:37 AEST 1991

Folks, we are discussing irrelevancies with "all architectures" here.
Please remember that SunOS 4.0.3 was the last Sun-2 release, and SunOS
4.1.1 is the last Sun-3 release.  There is only one architecture, SPARC.
Any future releases will be SPARC-only, there is no problem that the
CD-ROM drive is only supported on the Sun-4.

However, Sun certainly has done a bad turn to folks that don't have a
CD-ROM drive.  Of course, maybe you can pay for the drive with the money
you save by dropping the (patently useless) software support contracts on
the Sun-3's.

I wonder when Sun will start dropping software support for the old SPARC
models that don't support CD-ROM?
