CSSC Advisory Board members don't forget about the CSSC Advisory Board meeting on Tuesday, June 8th, from 3:35 - 5 p.m. We will, among other things, discuss the status on the Upgrade survey. 2.0 Digital VAX 6000 Upgrades / Alpha Ready program Digital's various "Alpha Ready" programs have allowed our customers to purchase current technology, and upgrade to Alpha/AXP later, for a predetermined fixed cost. This fixed cost is set at the time of the original purchase, and is valid until July 2, 1994. Please note that the customer is not required to buy an Alpha/AXP system, it is simply an option available to them. The "Alpha Ready" offer for the VAX 6000 In-cabinet Upgrade Program allows a customer to purchase selected VAX 6000 upgrade options today, and receive a firm, fixed price to upgrade to a DEC 7000 Model 610 AXP in the future. The specific model numbers eligible for this Alpha-Ready program are: Model No. Description 62xx TO 66xx PATHS: 66AUA-AA 210-610 66AUN-AA 210-610 128MB 66AVB-AA 220-610 128MB 66AUH-AA 230-610 128MB 66AUJ-AA 240-610 128MB 63xx-66xx PATHS: 66AUA-AC 310-610 66AUN-AC 310-610 128MB 66AVB-AC 320-610 128MB 66AUH-AC 330-610 128MB 66AUJ-AC 340-610 128MB 66AUK-AC 350-610 128MB 66AUL-AC 360-610 128MB 64xx-66xx PATHS: 66AUA-AF 410-610 66AUN-AF 410-610 128MB 66AVB-AF 420-610 128MB 66AUH-AF 430-610 128MB 66BUJ-AF 440-620 128MB 66BUK-AF 450-620 128MB 66BUL-AF 460-620 128MB 65xx-66xx PATHS: 66AUA-AK 510-610 66BUA-AK 520-620 66CUA-AK 530-630 66DUA-AK 540-640 66EUA-AK 550-650 66FUA-AK 560-660 When ordering one of the upgrade packages, be sure that the Alpha Ready part number (7HAWA-HN) appears on the quote.
