Sun Microsystems 320-1005-03 Type 4 Keyboard 078493-04 SPARC Workstation

The Sun Microsystems 320-1005-03 is an original Sun Type 4 keyboard designed for Sun SPARC workstations. Manufactured in the USA and rated at 5V DC / 0.35A, this keyboard connects via an 8-pin DIN connector and carries manufacturer part number 078493-04, Revision A.

Applications

The Sun Type 4 keyboard was the standard input device shipped with Sun Microsystems SPARC workstations and servers from the late 1980s into the early 1990s, including systems such as the Sun SPARCstation 1, SPARCstation 2, and Sun 4-series machines running SunOS. It uses Sun's proprietary serial keyboard protocol over an 8-pin DIN connector, which differs from standard PS/2 or USB interfaces. Today these keyboards are sought after by collectors of vintage Sun hardware, users maintaining legacy SPARC workstations, and engineers running older SunOS or Solaris environments on period-correct hardware. Adapters exist to convert the Sun keyboard connector to USB for use with modern systems.
