You can also run Venix 2.x on a Pro/350, and I think there are images
floating around. It's System III based with real-time extentions. Not
a bad system for the time. Interesting contrast to 2BSD.

Ah, yes, Venix, and I should have remembered - one of my Pro/350s came
with that on it (I still haven't taken the time to break in to it, and
the former owner forgot the root password).
It's System III based with real-time extentions.

Back then, it was almost worlds away - simple stuff was identical, but
I remember going through some contortions 25 years ago to port some
SysIII code to BSD.

Thanks for all the info. If I have time today, I'll go out in the
garage and do a better inventory of what I picked up (didn't have time
for that yesterday). I'll also take pictures of what I picked and up
and post them.
Venix would be awesome to try out... I had used their 386 variant in
days long past.
