The Sun-1 was the first computer produced by Sun Microsystems, launched commercially in May 1982 as the first generation of the company's Unix workstations and servers. Its CPU board was designed by Andy Bechtolsheim while he was a graduate student at Stanford University, under advisors Vaughan Pratt and Forest Baskett, as part of the Stanford University Network project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency; that board became the basis for Sun's first commercial product line. The Sun-1 ran a Motorola 68000 processor and SunOS 0.9, adapted from UniSoft's Unix port for that processor, initially shipped without a graphical window system, and sold for an introductory price of 8,900 dollars, with the first unit sold to Solo Systems in May 1982.
