I remember the first time I used a Sun Workstation. From a PC background, I was impressed by the fact that the keyboard housed the beeper, the keyboard was a serial device and the bios equivalent had a built-in command line.

It is a shame that such a small set of features jumped from workstations to the PC.

The SPARCstation 1 was the first of the family to have more than a buzzer. Sun 3’s could only beep.
