It was just a little too late as the workstation market was drying up and they arrived with a Sun 3/50 competitor in a market that Sun had already started to walk away from. You could buy alternate CPU for the A4000 as it had the CPU installed on a daughter card and I think you could get a PowerPC setup in that chassis.
