It's downloaded.
I would suggest renaming it to something like 32V-x86, though - makes it
easier to remember it's not going to be precisely the same as 32V for VAX.
In relation to corporate caveats, the only way you could actually compete with
HP is if somehow, in a matter of months, you redid the entire development of
BSD and SVRx, up to the stage HP-UX currently is at.
Oh well, time for me to brush off my Pajari book on Unix device drivers and
see if I can make the grade! ;)

How in the world a 15 year old operating system threatens SCO or
competes with HP is beyond me. At any rate, I'll start moving the email
activity off the corporate network soon, in order to comply with open
source participation rules.
In the meantime, I have just placed a copy of the reorganized kernel
files in ftp://server.opensourcedepot.com/pub/32V. This is my personal
server, so it's easy for me to put source code there, at least for now.
The reorganization consists mainly of separating out drivers, and a
scratch file for a locore.asm file. I also placed formalized license
notices in the directory and files, so to alert everyone of the license
terms.
It's a start ...
