The successors in that architecture that had memory protection and mapping software (68010, perhaps?) were the basis for the first Sun workstations.
This is correct, Sun, Cadmus, and other Unix workstation vendors at the time pretty much used the 68010. We (Cadmus) ran on System V with virtual memory in 1984 time frame. We also had a windowing system based on the original Macintosh. We sold our windowing software before we closed our doors. Also note that we had a very nice netfork file system using raw ethernet protocol back in that time frame.
Even the Amiga 500 had a C compiler. I owned one called Lattice (or was that the company that made it, I forget)
