We always hear the Commodore / Sun 3000UX rumor. I'm skeptical. Sun already had their own 680x0 line of workstations (the Sun 3 series), which started about 5 years before the A3000 was released. Why would they need Commodore? They were basically done with 68K by that point, just like all the other Unix workstation vendors.
Good point. It could be a stopgap. At the time the 3000 was launched, Sun was divesting from their 68K line in favor of the SPARC line, but the 3000 would fill a niche at a lower price point than Sun had with their own Sun/3 series (which were eye-wateringly expensive).
I wonder if they would've ported SunOS 4.x to the Amiga, or gone with modifications to Commodore's Unix, which was SysV based. I had a used Sun 3/60 for a while, back in the 90's.
