The JavaStation was a Network Computer (NC) developed by Sun Microsystems between 1996 and 2000, intended to run only Java applications.
The hardware is based on the design of the Sun SPARCstation series, a very successful line of UNIX workstations.
It also differs from other Sun systems in having PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces and a VGA monitor connector.
Production models comprised: Models produced only as prototypes or in limited numbers included: In addition, Sun envisioned a third-generation "Super JavaStation" after Krups, with a JavaChip co-processor for native Java bytecode execution.
The JavaStation concept was superseded by the Sun Ray series of thin client terminals.
