The old Suns (3/60s I think) also had a strip of leds on the back of the case that did this Cylon thing to let you know it was running ok.

Nah, just checked with the guys at work it was an 68020 with optional 68881, they also had the tape drive and SCSI box as an external unit! Anyway while we drift more and more off-topic you can look here for more Sun specs http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/sunref1.html according to that FAQ they did make a 386 and 486 workstation. but back in those days I was using Amigas.... mmmm Amiga Adam -- This message is Copyleft - all rights reversed Adam
