There was a Consensys SVR4.2 as well, which I have a copy of. It
involved a pile of 3.5" disks, and hopefully an Adaptec 1520 ISA SCSI
adapter. Or a WD compatible MFM/RLL controller.
I had it running on VirtualBox once, but no network.
Back in the day, I ran Consensys SVR4.2 for a three-line UUNET node.

This reminds me, I have the base install floppies, but not the entire
suite. Time to get on that.

Hi Emanuel,
I believe I may have the install disks for ESIX, SVR4. It actually was distributed in
this beautiful box with over 100 5.25” floppy disks.
As things progressed, ESIX was distributed on a streaming tape cartridge. That was so
much faster than swapping floppy disks for the install.
The nice thing about the ESIX SVR4 was the documentation. It was essentially the
AT&T SVR4 books with a white ESIX cover slapped on it.
If you want to copy the disks and make them accessible to our UNIX community, let me
know. Since it’s part of my collection I would ask that you return them to me. Send me an
email directly if you’re interested and I will see if I can locate them for you.
