Summary: SunOS 4.1.1 PSR A

Yesterday, I asked if there would still be a separate version
of SunOS version, PSR A, for the SPARCservers. I received many
responses. The majority said that the support for the SPARCservers
is part of Sun-4 SunOS 4.1.1. That's good news. But there were
a couple people who claimed that there was one set of tapes that
supported Sun-4s, SPARCs, and SPARCservers. I've included excerpts
from those messages after the list of people who responded. I'm
sure I've missed a few people but I had to stop collecting info.
Thanks for all the help.

If I remember correctly, there will be one tape for all
sun 4's (psr_a, sparcstation, etc.). So it will support
all the sun 4's, but you only have one install tape.

The rumor is a fact. We just got a 4/470 with 4.1.1 and
also a SS1+ with 4.1.1
Same tapes...
You're in luck!
