I recall installing small bunches of Sun 3/50 or 3/60 workstations,
networked to a Sun 3/280 deskside server(-ish), for engineering offices and
tertiary training rooms (around 1986 or so?) -- all VME-based -- after Sun
switched from Multibus as used in the Sun 2/50 and 2/180(?) workstations.
IIRC some Sun 3's desksides may still have used Multibus, for some I/O
options (reel tape??) -- though I might be hallucinating that part...
channeling my inner AI...
