If anyone has seen the code I'd like to hear what you thought. The
way it was described to me, it sounded like an SMP SunOS.

The later MV/xxxxx Supernova boxes could run
Unix, I
believe... (at least I remember the university running Unix on a MV
series after I left).
I think these were called "Eclipse", and the story of their
development is told in the famous book "The Soul of a New Machine".
For you youngsters out there, it's a great read.
We had one at Georgia Tech, it ran a Unix emulation on top
of AOS (or whatever it was called). Later on DG ported Unix to
run on it native.
