Neither. The original Sun-1s (not all caps, please; when used as the
name of the company or in product names, it's not an acronym) had a
68000, as I remember, and didn't run an OS that supported VM. A Sun-1
could be upgraded to an '010 machine; the Sun-2's were all '010
machines. The '010 machines didn't need that trick.
As I remember, Apollo and Masscomp *did* use the "two 68000s" trick.
