New Unit Pack Ordering for IBM IDE Disk Drives and Other Selected K-12 Education Products December 6, 1994 Announcement Number: 194-419 Document's Table of Contents: Abstract DESCRIPTION PUBLICATIONS TECHNICAL INFORMATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS CHARGES Abstract Unit pack part numbers are replacing bulk part numbers to reduce handling costs and confusion in dealing with the IDE 270MB, IDE 360MB, and IDE 540MB Disk Drives. These disk drives operate with the IBM Educational Computer Thirty-five (9613) and IBM Educational Computer Fifty-five (9615). Previously, these drives could be ordered only using bulk part numbers. The bulk part numbers are being withdrawn in Hardware Announcement 194-415, dated December 6, 1994. Characteristics and capabilities of the disk drives are not changed. They will be preloaded with IBM PC DOS 6.3 and Microsoft** Windows+ 3.1 software products. Diskettes and reference publications for the products will also be included. The disk drives in this announcement can be ordered only from Education Systems Integrators (ESI) as part of a configured system unit. In addition to the disk drives, all other K-12 Education products will be individually packaged and assigned unit pack part numbers. As an aid to understanding this transition in part numbering, a cross-reference table listing bulk, field upgrade, and new unit pack part numbers is included in the Part Number Cross-Reference section of this announcement. In all cases, unit pack part numbers are priced at the lower of the corresponding bulk or field upgrade part number.
