OTD 1985: #SunMicrosystems announces the Sun-3/1xx workstations based on the Motorola 68020 - true 32 bit computing. I loved those machines.
Made Sun a billion dollars before SPARC was ever released.

Behold the #SunMicrosystems SunLink Communications Processor - released in 1985. This one sits on a VME-Multibus adapter.
It was a Multibus card OEM'd from Systech of San Diego (they still exist!). I used their VRTX RTOS just as a boot loader and wrote my own code for the board.
