Sorry Karl, the original Sun-1 used a MC68000, ran Unisoft V7 and had
no demand-paged virtual memory; it merely swapped jobs, and did a pretty
poor job of that.  I worked on one of these beasts.  Only the Sun-1U 
(upgrade) could actually run 4.2BSD (before they started to call it
SunOS).

Don't know about Apollo; for a long time they were based on a proprietary
(or maybe AMD, who knows?) bit-sliced processor.
