I think the RT predated the SPARC machines.  There were RT's running BSD
at UW-Madison when I was a grad student there (UW did something, maybe
the BSD port to RT?) and they were pretty nice.  Sun machines were still
68K, there were no SPARCs at UW-Madison at that time.  Yeah, looked it
up, they were released in 1987, we had RT machines early, perhaps before
the release in 1986 to do the port.
