I was in the CS Department at UC Berkeley for most of the 90s.
Looking at the presence of various Unix workstations was like
looking at the rings of a large tree. At various times, various
Unix workstation vendors would donate hardware in order to help
promote their version of Unix and/or their hardware. There were
the Sun years, the HP years, the DEC years, and the Intel-based PC
years.
