Sun-1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For Sun's integrated enterprise platform, see Sun ONE.
The name Sun-1 refers to the first generation of UNIX computer workstations and servers produced by Sun Microsystems, launched in 1982. These were based around a CPU board designed by Andy Bechtolsheim while he was a graduate student at Stanford University and funded by DARPA. The board used a 10 MHz Motorola 68000 microprocessor and was based on the Intel Multibus architecture. RAM capacity was originally 256 kB, later increased to 1 MB. The Sun-1 systems ran UniSoft's UniPlus V7 port of Seventh Edition UNIX, sometimes referred to as Sun UNIX 0.7.
[edit] Sun-1 models

|---|---|
| Sun 100 | 3-slot Multibus (desktop) |
| Sun 150 | 15-slot Multibus (deskside) |
| Sun 170 | 15-slot Multibus (rackmount) |
Sun-1 systems upgraded with Sun-2 Multibus CPU boards were identified with a U suffix to their model number.
