A Sun3 is a totally different animal than Sun's current offerings.
But, I'm sure NeXT has played around with Sun4's...

It gets much easier for NeXT to do ports as they do more of them.
Let's just hope they at least get NS486 right (and possibly not making
last minute changes without testing would help...).
