Axil Technology Inc, San Jose, California, the workstation division of Hyundai Electronics America which already has a range of Sparcsystem-compatible machines under its belt, is lining up other offerings based around the Texas Instruments Inc SuperSparc microprocessor which Sun Microsystems Inc is using. The AxilStation-230 and -250 use 33MHz iterations of the superscalar part and will move to 36MHz versions when Texas delivers. The CPU comes on the motherboard itself, not an Mbus so upgrades need a board-swap. The 230 comes in a Sparcstation 2-like package and ships from this month at $11,500 with Solaris 1.1. The 250, at $17,000 comes with 32Mb RAM, 535Mb drive and 20 colour screen. Both have on-board facsimile modem interfaces. Axil’s existing compatibles are the $13,000 HWS-S210 which has been around for some time, the $17,000 HWS-S310 model 3.0 and the $23,500 HWS-S310 model 4.1 which are due next quarter.
