The <a href="/wiki/VMEbus" title="VMEbus">VMEbus</a> CPU board was based on the same design as the <a href="/wiki/Multibus" title="Multibus">Multibus</a> CPU but also included 2 MB or 4 MB of memory, the Sun-2 monochrome frame buffer, and 10 Mbit/s Thick Ethernet on board. </p><p>Sun provided 1 MB Multibus memory boards and 1 MB and 4 MB VMEbus memory boards but only supported configurations with a maximum of 4 MB RAM. Companies such as Helios Systems also made 4 MB memory boards that would work in Sun systems. </p><p>A common frame buffer was the Sun-2 Prime Monochrome Video. This board provided an 1152x900 monochrome display with <a href="/wiki/Transistor%E2%80%93transistor_logic" title="Transistor–transistor logic">TTL</a> or <a href="/wiki/Emitter-coupled_logic" title="Emitter-coupled logic">ECL</a> video signals, and keyboard and mouse ports. It normally occupied the top 1 MB of physical memory address space. There was also a Sun-2 Color Video board available that provided an 1152x900 8-bit color display. This board occupied the top 4 MB of address space. </p><p>42 MB <a href="/wiki/Modified_Frequency_Modulation" class="mw-redirect" title="Modified Frequency Modulation">MFM</a> disks were commonly used for storage. Two disks could be connected to an <a href="/wiki/Adaptec" title="Adaptec">Adaptec</a> MFM/<a href="/wiki/SCSI" title="SCSI">SCSI</a> and then to a Sun-2 Multibus Serial/SCSI Host Adapter. The SCSI board provided two additional serial ports. For larger storage requirements, 65, 130, and 380 MB <a href="/wiki/Storage_Module_Device" title="Storage Module Device">SMD</a> disks were connected to a <a href="/wiki/Xylogics" title="Xylogics">Xylogics</a> 450 SMD Controller. The SMD controller could support four disks even though Sun only supported two. A 20 MB <a href="/wiki/Quarter_inch_cartridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Quarter inch cartridge">QIC</a> tape drive could be connected through an <a href="/wiki/Archive_Corporation" title="Archive Corporation">Archive</a> QIC/SCSI converter. The system also supported 1/2" tape drives connected to a Computer Products Corporation TAPEMASTER or a Xylogics 472 board. </p><p>An Ethernet connection was provided by a Sun board based on the Intel 82586 chip, or a <a href="/wiki/3Com" title="3Com">3Com</a> 3c400 board. The server could support <a href="/wiki/Diskless_workstation" class="mw-redirect" title="Diskless workstation">diskless</a> Sun-2/50 clients through the Ethernet board. </p><p>Other supported Multibus boards included the Sky Computer Floating Point Processor, Sun ALM (Asynchronous Line Multiplexer) with 8 serial ports, and Sun SunLink Communications Processor (SCP) for <a
