Not complete certified "firsts".

But "first" before Apple to run on Intel, SPARC and PA-RISC (NeXT did 
support them, but processors were gradually lost through OpenStep and 
finally to MacOS X 10.0).

First before Apple to run Multiprocessor (with some work done right on 
the SparcStation 20 that I have and is still running GNUstep). Apple did 
not have public multi-CPU boards, probably though used some internally 
with UltraSPARC and Intel already.

GNUstep also did run on a Home Appliance before Apple TV (SNAP!) 
although it did not go public.
