The SPARCstation 20: Peak of the Pizza Box Era
The SPARCstation 20 is a Unix workstation produced by Sun Microsystems as the successor to the SPARCstation 10. It was the final 32-bit model in Sun's "pizza box" desktop line before the introduction of 64-bit UltraSPARC systems.
The system motherboard featured two MBus slots that supported one or two CPU modules. Using modules fitted with single or dual SuperSPARC I/II or Ross hyperSPARC processors, the machine could be configured with up to four CPUs. Memory was expandable up to 512 MB of RAM, and internal storage was handled over SCSI. Dedicated VSIMM slots supported accelerated 24-bit framebuffers—such as the SX and ZX options—for use in computer-aided design (CAD), scientific visualization, and multimedia work.
