San Jose, California-based Acer Group subsidiary Altos Corp has added two Unix workstations to its Altos System 4500 product line. The Altos System 4500-50M and 4500-50E, both built around Intel Corp’s 50MHz 80486 part, have 256Kb of high-speed 8Gb disk storage and Level-2 cache. Both systems feature 16Mb memory, Altos SCSI channel adaptor, 525Mb cartridge drive, VGA controller, SCSI-2 hard disk drive and 14 colour monitor. All Altos System 4500 systems based on the 80486SX or 33MHz full-80486 parts can be upgraded to the 50MHz version, says the company. Running the Altos derivative of Santa Cruz Operating Inc Unix V/386 3.2, which is also fully compatible with the Santa Cruz Operation’s Unix 3.2 version, the 4500-50M and 4500-50E systems have six EISA slots, 33Mb-per-second EISA input-output bus and SCSI-2 hard drives. Both systems will be expanded to include 256Mb of memory and 16Gb of disk by the end of the year. Available now, the Altos System 4500-50M and 4500-50E are from $16,700 and $15,800 repectively.
