New page

'''Sun-3''' was the name given to a series of [[UNIX]] computer workstations and servers produced by [[Sun Microsystems]], launched in 1985. The Sun-3 series were [[VMEbus]]-based systems similar to some of the earlier [[Sun-2]] series, but using the [[Motorola 68020]microprocessor]], in combination with the Motorola 68881 floating-point co-processor (optional on the Sun 3/50) and a proprietary Sun MMU. Sun-3 systems were supported in [[SunOS]] versions 3.0 to 4.1.1_U1 and also have current support in [[NetBSD]].

== Sun-3x ==
In 1989, coincident with the launch of the [[SPARCstation 1]], Sun launched three new Sun-3 models, the 3/80, 3/470 and 3/480. Unlike previous Sun-3s, these used a [[Motorola 68030]] processor, 68882 floating-point unit, and the 68030's integral MMU. This 68030-based architecture was called '''Sun-3x'''.
