"Sun Microsystems tried to acquire Apple once and then almost merged with
Apple on two other occasions, according to Sun co-founder Bill Joy."
There were some "mac/os running on sun/os" projects inside apple at one
point. At least on paper. I'm not sure if they got very far code wise,
however.
As I recall (dimly) this was in the 68k mac era. I don't remember
exactly when - i just remember it was during the time when I was on a
first name basis with all of the TWA Boston<->SF crews :-)
