General Notes:
--------------
 * You can always move down the path finder system list to the next system 
   to purchase a system with additional installed options if you do not wish 
   to migrate your options.
 * Only GX, TGX, TGX+ and ZX Graphics migrate to Ultra 1.  ZX graphics will
   be supported on Solaris 2.5.1 when Ultra 2 is shipped.
 * Monitor migration includes the video cable.
 * Chassis include the system box, motherboard with processor and power 
   supply.
 * SPARCstation 4/5/20 Floppy disk drive can be moved to Ultra 1.

Notes:
------
1. S20 memory only migrates to Ultra Systems in pairs.  Recent S20 systems
   have shipped with a single memory SIMM for 32MB or 64MB configurations.
   If you have one of these systems, you must purchase 1 additional SIMM
   (X132P or X164P) to migrate your memory.  If this is not desired, 
   refer to the SPARCstation 10 Upgrade products.
2. SPARCstation 4 systems with on-board graphics (FB), have a choice.  
   Either purchase the S4/5 upgrade and the spare part (#501-2325 or 
   RFB501-2325) or use the SPARCstation 10 Upgrade products.
3. You can use the Full System upgrade configurations when a new monitor
   is desired.
