About NetBSD/sun2
NetBSD/sun2 is the port of NetBSD to the Sun Microsystems sun2 series of computers, which are based
on the Motorola 68010 CPU with a Sun-designed custom MMU. Sun
sold these computers as both servers and desktop workstations
from the early to mid 1980's. They were superseded by the
sun3 systems, which are
supported by NetBSD as NetBSD/sun3.
