The SPARCstation 1, or Sun 4/60 was the first of the SPARCstation series of SPARC-based computer workstations sold by Sun Microsystems. It had a distinctive slim enclosure (a square 3 inch high 'pizza box') and was first sold in April 1989, with Sun's support for it ending in 1995.
It was codenamed 'Campus' back in the days of development.
It sold for between about US$9,000 (with no hard disks), to US$20,000 — and in the first year around 35,000 units were sold.
