Stanford University Network workstation. I have seen some documents
about it on stacks.stanford.edu, but I don't remember about the
software. In some versions, it's a more of a multi-head remote graphics
terminal, so maybe not Unix.

became Unix centered
I believe very early. It ran first on the VS100
Note that the VAXstation 100 is not a VAX, and not a standalone
computer. It's a 68000-based graphics terminal that attaches to a VAX.
The VS100 has some firmware in ROM, and the host uploads additional
software. There is such a software blob in X10R3.
There was also a pointer to a blog about pictures of
the W window
system. None exist, it seems.
I have asked Asante, Reid, and Kent. No luck so far.
