PART I

OVERVIEW
CPU/CHASSIS
OVERVIEW
========
This primary focus of this document is to cover older Sun-badged
hardware in detail sufficient to be useful to buyers and collectors of
used Sun hardware, much of which comes without documentation. Details on
hardware commonly used with Suns, especially hardware specifically
designed for Suns, are also included where available. The focus is
generally on older equipment, since information on newer equipment is
more readily available, from Sun itself if nowhere else. In particular,
no effort is made to keep up with Sun's introduction of new SPARC
models or Mbus modules.
Note that there is no warranty of any kind on the information in this
document. It has been assembled from a variety of sources of varying
reliability. Efforts have been made to exclude information known to be
incorrect, and to include only information deemed reasonably reliable,
but there is no guarantee on any of it, especially since official Sun
documents occasionally contradict each other.
This document is copyright (c) 1995 by James W. Birdsall. You may
distribute it freely in unmodified form.
THIS DOCUMENT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. I still have a lot of
information which I have not had time to integrate yet. In addition, if
you have documentation for systems or boards not listed here, speak up!
I would really like to get ahold of an *old* Sun Field Engineer's Handbook.
Henry Bryant of Sun's Atlanta office kindly donated one that covers
Sun-3's, 386i's, and Sun-4's, but I'm still looking for an old one that
covers Sun-2's. Even the opportunity to borrow one would be appreciated.

CPU/CHASSIS
===========
For each model listed below, whatever information is available is
given, in the following order:
Processor: The microprocessor followed by its clock speed in MHz. The
floating point coprocessor (FPU), if any, followed by whatever
information is available about the MMU, including the number of hardware
contexts. Lastly, various speed ratings, as available: MIPS (Millions of
Instructions Per Second, aka Meaningless...), MFLOPS (Millions of
FLoating-point OPerations per Second), SPECmark89, and/or
SPECint92/SPECfp92/SPECintRate92/SPECfpRate92. Note that some SPARC
processors are referred to by name; information on these is available in
the "Processor Data" section.
CPU or motherboard: The Sun part number of the CPU board or
motherboard.
Chassis type: "Rackmount" chassis, as the name suggests, are designed
to fit into a standard 19" equipment rack. They usually require
clearance over and under the chassis for cooling. "Pizza box" chassis
are intended to sit on a desktop, typically underneath the monitor; they
are low, wide, and deep. Older pizza boxes (2/50, 3/75, 3/50, and 3/60)
are much wider than they are deep; newer ones are square (3/80,
SPARCstation 1, 1+, 2, etc.). Some older pizza boxes (mostly the 3/50)
have a 'dimple top', a case top with a circular depression that allows
the chassis to serve as a tilt/swivel monitor base directly. 9-slot
Multibus and 12-slot VME (and probably 6-slot VME as well) "deskside"
chassis are wide towers that must stand on the floor. 3-slot VME
"deskside" chassis can stand on the floor as narrow towers or lie on
their sides on a desktop as tallish pizza boxes. "Lunchbox" chassis are
small rectangular boxes the size of a couple large hardcover books
stacked. "Monitor" chassis (SPARCstation SLC, etc.) have the motherboard
in the back of the monitor.
Bus: Whatever bus or busses the machine has. Sun has, at various
times, used Multibus, VMEbus, ISA, SBus, Mbus, and XDBus.
Memory: The amount of physical memory the machine can take, if known,
followed by the maximum size of the machine's virtual memory space, if
known, followed by the cycle time for physical memory, if known, and
finally details of any on-chip or off-chip caches, if known. The caches
on the Motorola 68020 and 68030 and the Intel 80386 are not described,
since information on these chips is widely known. To save space, the
on-chip caches of various common SPARC processors are described in the
"Processor Data" section.
Notes: General information which does not belong under other
headings.
Not all models shown in the Announcement Date/List Price section in
the appendix are described in this section. In particular, models which
differ only in peripherals have been excluded.
Sun-1
-----
OVERVIEW
Sun-1's were the very first models ever produced by Sun. The earliest
ran Unisoft V7 UNIX; SunOS 1.x was introduced later. According to some
sources, fewer than 200 Sun-1's were ever produced; they are certainly
rare. The switch from Motorola 68000's to 68010's occurred during the
Sun-1's reign. Some models are reported to have 3Mbit Ethernet taps as
well as 10Mbit.
68000-based Sun-1's are not supported by SunOS. The last version of
SunOS to support Sun-1's may be the same as the last version to support
Sun-2's, since the 100U CPU boards are the same part.
From bjork@rahul.net (../Steven):
[The Sun-1] did not have the DVMA of the sun-2 architecture.
There was an even earlier board that had the 68000, not the
68010. The 68000 board was licensed by Stanford to several folks
(can't recall names). The original cisco cpu was a slightly
upgraded 68000 version. Andy Bechtolsheim was using SUDS on the
triple-I in the CS Dungeon (Margaret Jacks Hall) when my boss
asked him to modify the sun board to accept 256k ram chips. I
handed Andy a pencil and the schematics and he scribbled the
mods on it. I took the mods, and with exacto knife and jumpers,
modified a sun board for the 256k chips. Len Bosack then took
the mods and relaid out the PC. That board was the first cisco
cpu, and was also produced internally to Stanford.
[...]
The original sun lacked the DVMA and thus needed Multibus
memory. Their "ar" tape controller design thus included 256k of
Multibus memory. When upgraded to a sun2, one had to switch this
ar-resident memory off since it would conflict with the DVMA
memory on the sun2 P2 (memory bus).
MODELS
Sun-1
Processor(s): 68000
Notes: Large black desktop boxes with 17" monitors.
Uses the original Stanford-designed video board
and a parallel microswitch keyboard (type 1) and
parallel mouse (Sun-1).
100
Processor(s): 68000 @ 10MHz
Bus: Multibus, serial
Notes: Uses a design similar to original SUN (Stanford
University Network) CPU. The version 1.5 CPU can
take larger RAMs.
100U
Processor(s): 68010 @ 10MHz
CPU: 501-1007
Bus: Multibus, serial
Notes: "Brain transplant" for 100 series. Replaced CPU
and memory boards with first-generation Sun-2
CPU and memory boards so original customers
could run SunOS 1.x. Still has parallel kb/mouse
interface so type 1 keyboards and Sun-1 mice
could be connected.
170
Processor(s): 68010?
Bus: Multibus?
Chassis type: rackmount
Notes: Server. Slightly different chassis design than
2/170's
Sun-2
-----
OVERVIEW
Sun-2's were introduced in the early 1980's and were Sun's first
major commercial success. While not as popular or as common as the later
Sun-3's, they did well and there are still quite a few in circulation in
the home/collector-used market.
All Sun-2's are based on the Motorola 68010 and run SunOS. The last
version of SunOS to support Sun-2's was 4.0.3. Early Sun-2's were
Multibus; later models were VME, which Sun continued to use through the
Sun-3 era and well into the Sun-4 line.
One of the hardest parts of restoring a Sun-2 is finding OS tapes for
it. The hardware is usually still in fine working order, but tapes -- if
you can even find any -- are sometimes unreadable after so many years.
See author's notes in the appendices.

board. No information on the differences between
the 2/130 and the 2/160.
Sun-3
-----
OVERVIEW
Sun switched to using the Motorola 68020 with the introduction of the
Sun-3's. A few later models had 68030's, but by that time Sun was
already moving toward SPARC processors. All models either have a 68881
or 68882 FPU installed stock or at least have a socket for one. All
models which are not in pizza box chassis are VMEbus. Two out of three
pizza box models have a "P4" connector which can take a framebuffer; the
exception is the 3/50.
Support for Sun-3's was introduced in SunOS 3.0. The last version of
SunOS to support Sun-3's was 4.1.1U1.
During the Sun-3 era, Sun introduced the handy practice of putting
the model number on the Sun badge on the front of the chassis.
There are two different kernel architectures in the Sun-3 model line.
All 68020-based models are "sun3" architecture; 68030-based models (the
3/80 and 3/4xx) are "sun3x" architecture.

Sun 386i
--------
OVERVIEW
The Sun 386i models, based on the Intel 80386 processor, were
introduced when 80386-based IBM PC/AT clones were starting to become
widespread. Intel had finally produced a chip sufficiently capable
(32-bit, among other things) to allow porting SunOS, and using an Intel
processor and an ISA bus offered the ability to run MS-DOS applications
without speed-draining emulation. Unfortunately, they were a dismal
failure.
Support for Sun-386i's was introduced in SunOS 4.0 (?). The 386i
SunOS releases came from Sun's East Coast division, so 386i SunOS was
not identical to the standard version with the same number. The last
released version of SunOS to support Sun-386i's was 4.0.2; there are a
few copies of 4.0.3Beta (with OpenLook 2.0) floating around.
MODELS
386i/150
Processor(s): 80386 @ 20MHz, 80387, 80386 on-chip MMU,

Notes: Shared code name "Roadrunner" with the /250. The
frame buffer was not on the ISA bus. 720K or
1.44M 3.5" floppy. A variant of the 150 had the
250's external cache.
386i/250
Processor(s): 80386 @ 25MHz, 80387, 80386 on-chip MMU,
5 MIPS, 0.2 MFLOPS
CPU: 501-1324/1413
Chassis type: tower
Bus: 4 32-bit slots; ISA (3 16-bit, 1 8-bit)
Memory: 16M physical, 32K cache
Notes: Shared code name "Roadrunner" with the /150. The
frame buffer was not on the ISA bus. 720K or
1.44M 3.5" floppy.
486i
Processor(s): 80486
Notes: Code-named "Apache". A very limited quantity of
these were supposedly built and shipped to
customers just before the Intel-based line was
cancelled.
Sun-4/SPARCstation/SPARCserver/SPARCwhatever
--------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
These machines were initially introduced with model designations in
the same pattern as previous lines: Sun 4/xxx. However, for marketing
purposes, Sun departed from their classic naming scheme with the name
SPARCstation, and has since experimented with alphabetic designations
(e.g. "SPARCstation SLC") before returning to numbered SPARCstations.
Until the SPARCstation 10, however, every model still had a 4/xxx
designation as well, which is displayed by the ROM monitor during
power-up and used by much of Sun's documentation.
This model line marks the introduction of Sun's own RISC chip, the
SPARC. There have been a number of different implementations of the chip
from various manufacturers, with varying degrees of hardware support for
the instruction set.
Support for Sun-4's was introduced in SunOS 4.0, although there was a
special variant of SunOS 3.2 for Sun-4's which was shipped with some
very early units. Since this product line is still current, it is still
in general supported by SunOS, which has mutated to become part of
Solaris. Support for some earlier models has been dropped, and some
later models require at least 4.0.3c, 4.1.1, or Solaris 2.x.
Some of the later models have pictures silkscreened on their CPU
boards.
Note that MIP/GIP ratings for later models are even more suspicious
than usual for benchmarks.
There are several kernel architectures in the Sun-4 model line. Where
known, the architecture for each model is listed.

Notes: First desktop-able SPARC. CPU doesn't support
VME busmaster cards (insufficient room on CPU
board for full VME bus interface), so DMA disk
and tape boards won't work with it. Originally
intended as single-board machine, although there
are a few slave-only VME boards (such as the
ALM-2 and second ethernet controller) which work
with it. Onboard SCSI, two serial ports,
Ethernet, keyboard/mouse. "P4" frame buffer
could be monochrome or color. Used static column
RAM rather than a conventional cache. Code-named
"Cobra". CPUs 501-1199/1462/1464/1512/1514/1516/
1656/1658/1660 do not have an FPU; 501-1237/
1463/1465/1513/1515/1517/1657/1659/1661 have an
FPU.

SPARC register overview
From John Cheshire (john@float.demon.co.uk):
SPARC registers can be divided into two general classifications:
working registers and control/status registers. Working registers
are those used for data and addressing operations. They are called
r-registers in the integer unit (IU), or f-registers in the
floating-point unit. The various control/status registers record
status or control the state of a processor or memory management unit
(MMU).
The 136 r-registers of the integer unit are divided into eight
register windows. The 32 f-registers of the floating-point unit are
a directly addressed register file (referred to as freg0...freg31).
All registers for SPARC are 32 bits in length, although
floating-point double-precision instructions allow an adjacent and
aligned floating-point data register pair to be accessed as a single
64-bit register. Also note that while all control registers are
32 bits in length, some of the bit fields may be designated as
reserved. Reserved bits are non-writable, and are returned as zero
when when the register is read. It is good programming practice to
write zeros into a reserved bit field when writing to a control
register of this type. This practice avoids upgrade problems with
later hardware versions.
The 136 r-registers of the [Ross] RT620 are 32 bits wide and are
divided into a set of 128 window registers and a set of eight global
registers. The 128 window registers are grouped into eight sets of
24 r-registers called windows. One of these eight windows is
selected by setting the Current Window Pointer (CWP), a 5-bit field
in the processor state register (PSR). Within each window, the
programmer can directly access 24 windowed r-registers by register
number. The eight global registers may be accessed regardless of the
window selected by the CWP.
Register Alternate Register
Number Register Number Group Name
-------- --------------- ----------
r[24] to r[31] i[0] to i[7] ins
r[16] to r[23] l[0] to l[7] locals
r[8] to r[15] o[0] to o[7] outs
r[0] to r[7] g[0] to g[7] globals
The windowed register file is implemented as a circular stack, with
the highest numbered window joined to the lowest. For the eight
windows implemented in SPARC, window 7 adjoins window 0.
Note that each window shares its ins and outs with adjacent windows.
Outs from a previous window (CWP+1) are the ins of the current
window, and the outs of the current window are the ins of the next
window (CWP-1). While only adjacent windows share ins and outs,
globals are shared by all windows. A window's locals, on the other
hand, are not shared at all, belonging only to that window.
An alternative approach to understanding SPARC window registers is
to note that the Current Window Pointer (CWP) acts as an index
pointer within the stack of 128 window registers. Changing the
Current Window Pointer by one offsets the r-register addressing by
16. Since 24 r-registers can be addressed with each CWP value,
incrementing or decrementing the CWP results in an eight register
overlap in register addressing. This overlap of window register
addressing creates the in-out feature of the windowed registers.
After power-on reset, the state of the Current Window Pointer and
the window invalid mask (WIM) register are undefined. The power-on
reset trap routine must initialize the CWP and WIM register for
correct operation.
In addition to the 136 r-registers, SPARC defines a set of 32-bit
floating point data registers, referred to as f-registers. The
[Ross] RT620 fp register files each provide a set of 32 f-registers.
These registers can be accessed as 32 registers containing single
precision (32-bit) data types or as 16 pairs of registers containing
double precision (64-bit) data types. Double precision pairs are
always addressed as adjacent even-odd registers.
SuperSPARC
Texas Instruments TMX390Z50. On-chip 20K 5-way set-associative
I-cache, physically indexed and tagged. On-chip 16K 4-way
set-associative D-cache, write-back, physically indexed and tagged.
65536 hardware contexts. FPU and SPARC Reference MMU on chip. SPARC
Reference MMU has in-memory 3-level page tables, similar to a
"de-baroqued subset" of the 68030 MMU, but with Sun-MMU-style contexts.
Code name "Viking".
"When the SuperSPARC Multi-Cache Controller is used in the Mbus
configuration, it supports either no E-cache or 1MB of E-cache. When the
MCC is used in the X[D]Bus configuration, it supports a variety of
E-cache sizes: none, 512Kb, 1Mb, or 2Mb." -- Texas Instruments

microSPARC II
Fujitsu MB86904. On-chip 16K I-cache. On-chip 8K D-cache.FPU and
SPARC Reference MMU on chip.
SF9010/MB86900
These two are the same chip; Fujitsu simply renamed it. The FPC
portion was later given the separate designation MB86910 (?).
ROSS RT601/Cypress CY7C601
These two are the same chip, renamed when Cypress sold ROSS
Technology to Fujitsu. No on-chip cache.
