I thought the early Suns were built on Motorola 68000 series CPUs, until the Sparcs came out, though they also had a 386 model.
Actually, they had both 68000 and 386 models, as well as toyed with MIPS in a few models and prototypes. They weren't as dedicated to MIPS and Digital, IBM and others when it came to their workstations -- but they all attended several industry meetings on standardizing around MIPS at one point.
