2/160: US$48,800 (equivalent to $115,000 in 2023[1]) The Sun-2 series of UNIX workstations and servers was launched by Sun Microsystems in November 1983.

A Sun 2/170 server with 4 MB of memory, no display, two Fujitu Eagle 380 MB disk drive, one Xylogics 450 SMD disk controller, a 6250 bpi 1/2 inch tape drive and a 72" rack cost $79,500 (1986 US price list[5]).

The top 1 MB of physical memory address space was reserved for the monochrome frame buffer.

The Multibus CPU board supported the Sun-1 parallel keyboard and mouse as well as two serial ports.

This board provided an 1152x900 monochrome display with TTL or ECL video signals, and keyboard and mouse ports.

The system also supported 1/2" tape drives connected to a Computer Products Corporation TAPEMASTER or a Xylogics 472 board.

Other supported Multibus boards included the Sky Computer Floating Point Processor, Sun ALM (Asynchronous Line Multiplexer) with 8 serial ports, and Sun SunLink Communications Processor (SCP) for SNA and X.25 connectivity.

BYTE in August 1984 described the Sun-2/120 as a "VAX-class machine", with "superb graphics and excellent response time under loading".
