      Also Unveils New Version of Product with Motif and NetWare Support


CHELMSFORD, Mass.-January 19, 1993--SunSelect(TM), a business unit of
Sun Microsystems, Inc., today announced significant price reductions
for its popular SunPC(TM) emulation software and hardware acceleration
products.  SunSelect's suggested U.S. list price for SunPC(TM)
software, which enables SPARC(R) workstation users to run MS-DOS(R) and
Microsoft(R) Windows(R) with UNIX(R) applications on a single system,
has been reduced.  The prices for SunPC hardware acceleration products
have also been reduced.

"The price reductions announced today make SunSelect the price leader
for PC emulation products," said Cliff Utstein, senior product manager
at SunSelect.  "With high-performance emulation products available at
these prices, we think power PC users who are considering upgrading to
a workstation will find this to be a more attractive alternative than
ever."

In addition to the price reductions, SunSelect has also unveiled
Version 3.1 of SunPC software, with new features and enhancements. The
product now permits workstation users to access NetWare(R) servers in
addition to NFS(R) (Network File System) systems, so the SunPC user can
now use the workstation to run PC applications that reside on NetWare
local-area networks (LANs). SunPC 3.1 software also includes expanded
support for X Window System(TM) managers, including Motif(R), and
supports a simplified licensing mechanism. (SMCC availability of SunPC
3.1 will be announced later - johnj)

The SunPC product family, introduced in April, 1992, has been well
received by customers as an efficient way to run PC applications on
powerful UNIX system workstations. The product linE--which includes
SunPC software, the SunPC Accelerator SX card for higher MS-DOS and
MS-Windows performance, and the SunPC Accelerator DX card for the most
demanding floating-point and graphics- intensive applications--allows
users to access UNIX and PC applications simultaneously from a single
desktop computer, thereby avoiding the expense and inconvenience of
using different computers for different tasks.
