Motorola Inc’s Microprocessor division will be adding a third 68030-based system to its low-end Delta series with the new Model 3400. The system, which offers five VME expansion slots, up to 20 serial ports and 16Mb of on-board memory, sits in between Motorola’s other complex instruction set Delta systems, the Models 3200, introduced last April, and 3600 systems, and uses a 25MHz version of the chip. Hard disk storage options range from 104Mb up to 1.2Gb, and up to 96 users can be connected via Motorola’s optional DeltaLink controller. Pricing is set to go from $12,000 to $18,000, with a typical configuration having 104Mb disk, 3.5 tape streamer, 4Mb memory, Ethernet, four serial ports, a printer port and an external SCSI adaptor.
