Real SysVRel4 I assume... a friend of mine worked on it there for the
A3000 IIRC.
They started with the Real AT&T stuff and bought the source license.

... if you can find the expansions. :)
Fair bit of stuff still out (I have some strange ones in my own
connection - for eg. a Xetec controller with an extra 2 mb ram & a
weird hard disk connector that plugged into the A1000's expansion
(Zorro) port - same co. used to make Centronics i/faces for VIC's &
64/128's)
As for a more common system (more common than the
Intergraph, not the
Amiga), a UnixPC with 1 meg of ram, and maybe 60MB of disk will give
you access to a really decent subset of available Unix (and possibly
MS-DOS) software. It will also have a decent development environment,
given the installation of a dev kit.
THe A2000UX from Commodore was fairly respecatble (though somewhat
undersold), not sure what version of Unix it ran, have to dig up my old
dealer brochures.
