RE: Model 600 limitations

        Art,
        Found the info on the "Special Offering".
        Announcement Letter 397-207 dated October 28, 1997.
        It requires final order date by December 11, 1998
        and date of installation by December 31, 1998.

        The 2175 lists a Base Main of only 64 MB, where
        all the other 620s have 256. This Offering includes
        a $35,000 credit and an additional 192 MB of Base.

        BTW, if your customer is upgrading the F20 it looks like
        the Processor Feature Conversion from an F20 to either
        a 2175 or 2179 is $0.
