Perhaps you would know, was the board in Sun Microsystems' first product
identical to the Stanford SUN workstation board?  Information online is
often confused between the Stanford SUN and the Sun Microsystems Sun-1,
so it's hard to say and I keep wondering if in fact they were mostly the
same.

Another point of nomenclature: I have seen Stanford documents referring
to the SUN workstation software as "SUNOS", which is uncomfortably close
to "SunOS"...
