	Not absolutely sure, but an IPX is roughly equivalent to a
Sparcstation 2 (40MHz sun4c) and an IPC is equal to the older
Sparcstation 1 (1+?; don't know CPU speed).  IPC's onboard framebuffer
is b&w, IPX has a colour (8bit TGX framebuffer).  Both have 2 sbus
slots inside, and both can take up to 32M of ram internally.  I think
if you look for the Sun Managers' mailing list FAQ there's a pointer
to a Sun comparison page somewhere on the web.

	Hope that helps.
