10: NetBSD/sun3 is the port of NetBSD to the [Sun Microsystems](http://www.sun.com/)
11: **sun3**, and **sun3x** series of computers, which are based on the Motorola
12: [68020](http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MC68020)
13: and [68030](http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MC68030)
14: CPUs respectively, with a Sun-designed custom MMU.
15: Sun sold these computers as both servers and desktop workstations from
16: the mid to late 1980's. They were superseded by the **sun4** SPARC RISC systems,
17: which are supported by NetBSD as [[NetBSD/sparc|sparc]].
18:
19: Nathan Williams and Jeremy Cooper are the maintainers of NetBSD/sun3.

22: ###Supported System Models
23:
24: See [[Supported System Models|sun3_supported_system_models]] page.
25:
26: ### Disk and RAM Requirements
27:
28: * Minimum
29: * 4MB RAM, ~80MB disk
30: * Normal
31: * 8MB RAM, 200MB disk
32: * Normal + X11
33: * 16MB RAM, 300MB disk
34:
35: The complete NetBSD sources without objects require 200MB of disk.
36:
37: To run the X Window System or compile the NetBSD system sources
38: (i.e. development), more RAM and disk are recommended.
39: Good performance requires 8MB of RAM, or 16MB of RAM
40: when running the X Window System.
41:
42: ### Supported Hardware
43:
44: The following Sun3 devices are currently supported:
45:
46: * RS-232c Serial ports:

65: * Input devices:
66: * Sun keyboard (*kbd*) and mouse (*ms*)
67: * Miscellaneous:
68: * Battery-backed real-time clock.
69:
70: If you have a device that's not listed, it might be compatible with
71: something else, or we might have simply forgotten it.
72: If all else fails, maybe you could write a driver!
73:
74: Note: The Sun VME *sc* SCSI card is not yet supported.
