Sun still has them(patches for SunOS)- just a bit difficult to get at
http://access1.sun.com/patch.y2k/
will get you y2k and security patches back to "Solaris SPARC 1.0" as they call
it
I'm running 4.1.3_U1 with all patches-not on a public network- is that O.K.? What
bennies are in 4.1.4?

Nice to find someone who still runs SunOS 4.1.x out there...

Quoting from the Solaris 1.1.2 (SunOS 4.1.4) cardboard box:
"Solaris 1.1.2 includes the following features:
- Integrated support for the performance enhanced Sun
HyperSPARC(TM) CPU module on MBus, uniprocessor
SPARCstation 10 and SPARCstation 20 series systems
- Integrated improvements to support SPARCstation 5,
including audio support and cg6 framebuffer support
- A software upgrade from SunOS 4.1.x to SunOS 4.1.4
and an updated version of OpenWindows containing
over 75 of the latest OpenWindows bug fixes
- Integration of over 100 key operating system bug
fixes to the Solaris 1.1.1 version B release"
Even though it officially only supports uniprocessor MBus
machines, I run 4.1.4 on a SS10 with 2 x 142 MHz hyperSPARCs.
It works like a charm and feels quicker than anything else.

It's Something like:
SunOS 5.7 = Solaris 2.7
This was officially known as Solaris 7 and marked the change in the
naming (yet again)

Yeah. That's correct:
SunOS 5.x = Solaris x
where x = 7, 8, 9, 10
before this:
SunOS 5.y = Solaris 2.y
where y = 4,5,6
of course the BSD-based classic:
SunOS 4.x
where 4.1.4 was the last version
Hope I didn't misinterpret anything. :-)
(there sould be a couse just to understand SunOS's versioning convention)

There is a pretty good SunOS-Solaris version chart at

Slow user acceptance of Solaris 2 forced Sun to maintain the
original BSD-based SunOS in parallell until November 1994.
Solaris 1.0 = SunOS 4.1.1 + OpenWindows V2 (1990)
Solaris 1.0.1 = SunOS 4.1.2 + OpenWindows V2 (1991)
Solaris 1.1 = SunOS 4.1.3 + OpenWindows V3 (1992)
Solaris 1.1.1 = SunOS 4.1.3_U1 + OpenWindows V3 (1993)
Solaris 1.1.2 = SunOS 4.1.4 + OpenWindows V3 (1994)
When the final SunOS 4.1.4 version was released, Solaris 2
was already at its fourth revision (Solaris 2.3).
OpenWindows V1 was never bundled with SunOS, AFAIK.

At some point around 5.2 I think Sun fancied keeping the last digit in
line with the date,
with a major turn per year. Then that fell out of vogue as the selling
point they had to
grasp on to was that they were more "sable" and easier to support than
turning the
product with new "features" as all were doing.
They pretty much threw in the towel with 2.6 with the "compile once, run
forever"
pledge on the binaries, so you didn't have to recompile the planet each
time they
turned Solaris.

Modern stuff... We still have a SUN4/260 running 4.1.1 on its original
internal ESDI harddisk, and it's running since 1987. The machine IS
connected to the internet, e.g. there's OpenSSH running etc. And there are
no kernel or stability problems I'm aware of.
